By Brad Reed
Published January 02, 2023
Scandal-plagued Rep.-elect George Santos (R-NY) now faces potential criminal prosecution in two different countries.
The New York Times reports that law enforcement authorities in Brazil intend to reopen a 15-year-old fraud case involving Santos that had been shelved because police had for years been unable to locate him.
After Santos got elected to Congress last year and after the majority of his life story was exposed as a fabrication, he apparently came back under prosecutors' radars.

Now they know where he is at.....and there is this.....
Extradition. An extradition treaty between the United States and Brazil was signed on January 13, 1961 and implemented on February 11, 1965. The treaty allows both countries to request the return of individuals if the offense(s) committed are considered crimes by both countries.
