Santos pleads guilty to fraud, theft… in Brazil

George Santos had better have set aside some of those millions of dollars that mysteriously showed up in his campaign accounts (allegedly) because his lawyers must be running up some hefty legal bills that he’ll need to cover. And that action isn’t all taking place in New York and Washington. One of his lawyers was in Brazil this week, securing a plea deal for him that will avoid a messy trial in that country. The Brazilians had been looking for Santos since 2008 regarding allegations that he defrauded a store clerk out of $1,300 for a suit and a pair of shoes. Now the embattled congressman has entered a confession of guilt and agreed to pay slightly less than $5,000 to settle the case. (CNN)Read More
