A Brooklyn construction company is at the center of a federal investigation into campaign contributions to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, according to multiple reports of a search warrant executed by federal agents.

The firm KSK Construction Group specializes in condo and hotel development near its headquarters in Williamsburg, along with projects elsewhere in the city. The New York Times reported federal investigators are looking into the company’s links to the Turkish government as part of an ongoing inquiry into the mayor’s campaign fundraising operation.
