El FBI allana las casas de dos importantes asesores del alcalde Adams, Sheena Wright y Phil Banks, en Nueva York

Los agentes del FBI allanaron las casas de dos importantes colaboradores del alcalde Eric Adams, Phil Banks y Sheena Wright, la madrugada del miércoles, confirmaron fuentes policiales.

Las redadas, de las que informó por primera vez The City, se desarrollaron simultáneamente alrededor de las 5 a. m. en la elegante casa de Wright en West 143rd Street en Harlem y en la casa de Banks en Queens, según las fuentes.

Un portavoz del FBI se negó a hacer comentarios a The Post el jueves, pero no negó que agentes federales visitaran ambas direcciones.

FBI agents raided the homes of two top aides to Mayor Eric Adams — Phil Banks and Sheena Wright — early Wednesday, law enforcement sources confirmed.

The raids — first reported by The City — unfolded simultaneously about 5 a.m. at Wright’s elegant West 143rd Street home in Harlem and Banks’ Queens home, according to the sources.

An FBI spokesperson declined to comment to The Post on Thursday but did not deny that federal agents visited both addresses.

The law enforcement action marks a jaw-dropping escalation in the federal investigations swirling around Adams.

The raids’ precise purpose remained unclear Thursday, but a source with knowledge of the probe said investigators have been trying to flip someone close to Adams, who has not been accused of wrongdoing.

Wright, as the city’s first deputy mayor, is the closest Adams aide to have her home raided by the feds. Banks, a longtime Adams ally, serves as his deputy mayor for public safety.
