Eric Adams, Democratic Mayor of New York, is indicted on five counts ofaccusationfollowing an investigation by the Manhattan federal prosecutor's office into the illicit financing of his 2021 campaign. Construction companies linked to Turkey allegedly allowed the former senator to collect nearly $10 million in funds. Eric Adams is also suspected of accepting bribes paid by an Ankara government official. A recent maneuver by the mayor of New York, who proclaims his innocence, complicates the justice investigation.Eric Adams modified thepassword of his iPhone… which he no longer remembers.
New York Mayor Accused of Corruption Changes iPhone Passcode Before Forgetting It
The indictment from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York reveals that the FBI conducted a search of Eric Adams' electronic devices on November 6, 2023. Unfortunately for investigators, Mayor of New York did not have his personal cell phone, the one used for the acts of which he is accused, on him.He presents his iPhone the next day, locked with a password. Problem, Eric Adams no longer remembers his code.
Upon learning that an investigation was targeting him, the former Republican strengthened his password from four to six characters “to prevent staff members from inadvertently or intentionally deleting content from their phone»and therefore, preserve it to help the authorities, according to his statements.
As Eric Adams no longer remembers his password, it is impossible for the FBI to access it. To make matters worse, an Adams employee who agreed to speak to FBI agents went to the bathroom during her interview in order todelete the encrypted messaging apps she had used to communicate with the mayor and the parties involved.
The investigators, who probably doubt the good faith of the mayor of New York and his employee, cannot count onApple to unlock the iPhone, as Donald Trump thinks. The former President of the United States recently asked the Apple brand to decrypt the cell phones of his alleged attackers.
