Prosecutors in Brazil have agreed to a deal with Rep. George Santos in a case in which he is accused of defrauding a Rio de Janeiro area clerk of $1,300 over clothes and shoes in 2008, documents obtained by CNN show.

A petition from Santos’ attorney requesting a deal says Santos would agree to formally confess to the crime and pay damages to the victim, a Rio de Janeiro area clerk, as is required under Brazilian law.

A memo from prosecutors agreeing to the deal last week asked the defense for assurances they have the ability to contact the victim to repay him before the deal is finalized.


In a statement to CNN, the prosecutors’ office acknowledged the memo but stressed that the deal is not final until all conditions are met. ......................

1. No doubt he will pay from his campaign funds in increments of $199.99

[RockRaven]

2. So do y'all think "Admitted Fraudster George Santos" or "Confessed Fraudster George Santos"

has a better ring to it?

[riversedge]

3. the Confessed one has a better ring to me.

[BaronChocula]

4. There!

That should get Republicans back on track

[Martin68]

5. The Republican Party: putting wankers, bozos and criminals up for election.

[NBachers]

6. George Santos, crook

[Mr.Bill]

7. He probably qualifies for

a leadership position now.

[sakabatou]

8. Republicans are perfectly fine with criminals in their ranks.

[ZonkerHarris]

9. becoming a GOP congressman allowed him to escape true justice.

[Phoenix61]

10. I still want to know what his mother was doing with the

checkbook of one of her clients. I’d also like to know why he wasn’t charged for the crime of stealing the check he paid the clerk with.

17. Good question as that is potentially worse than cheating the clerk

He used checks from an elderly patient that his mother, a home Healthcare nurse was caring for. My questions are did this elderly person have family who tried to pursue this? It may be that he/she did and that is why the check was rejected by the bank. A worse case would be that his mother's signature would have been accepted, but most his. If so, did the Stantos family defraud the elderly person.

11. Seems like that districts democratic party should have looked into

the fascists candidate a little closer, wouldn't be that hard to shed light on that fraudster. A major f'up imho.

[Grins]

12. They caved. Let's hope they don't re: Bolosonaro

Too many caves; from Santos to the J-6ers. Can’t these judges, at least one of them, accept the Prosecutor’s sentencing recommendation?

[Marcuse]

13. No that he's totally exonerated he can accept a chairmanship.

[brush]

15. No sarcasm gif? He's not exonerated. He confessed to fraud.

[Marcuse]

16. I didn't think it that subtle, but

[cstanleytech]

[SouthernDem4ever]

18. Here's what I think of the whole thing

[Xandric]

I would triple check those checks or money orders.
