Martin II, and the two businessmen. It accuses Ms. Lewis-Martin of using her official position to \u201cillegally influence Department of Buildings and other city decisions\u201d in exchange for the cash and other benefits for her and her son.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cFrom the moment Lewis-Martin became the second most senior person in City Hall, she abused her position and sold her influence to enrich herself and her family,\u201d prosecutors said in a narrative of the accusations accompanying the indictment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The indictment accuses Ms. Lewis-Martin and her son, Glenn D. Martin II, of accepting financial support from the two men for business ventures, including a clothing line and a Chick-fil-A franchise in exchange for her using her city position to assist with their projects. After the businessmen paid Mr. Martin $100,000 in August 2023, he deposited the money into a joint account he shared with Ms. Lewis-Martin, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The charges were unsealed Thursday and announced at a news conference by the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L.
