Mohamed Bahi charged with witness tampering and destruction of evidence in Mayor Adams case

A former top official in Eric Adams’ administration tampered with witnesses and potentially destroyed evidence in the corruption case against the mayor, prosecutors claimed in a bombshell complaint Tuesday.

Mohamed Bahi was arrested Tuesday morning and was scheduled to be hauled in front of a Manhattan federal judge to face witness tampering and destruction of evidence charges, officials said.

An unsealed complaint against Bahi contends he told a businessman — who was under scrutiny for allegedly setting up illegal straw donations to Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign — to lie to federal investigators.

The court papers also contend Bahi deleted a messaging app off his phone before the feds served a search warrant at his home in July, the court papers state.

The complaint comes a day after city officials said Bahi, who served as the mayor’s liaison to the Muslim community, had resigned.

Bahi didn’t answer several calls from The Post.

Adams dodged questions about Bahi as the mayor walked into City Hall on Tuesday.
