RIO DE JANEIRO — Rep. George Santos signed a deal with Brazilian prosecutors Thursday in which he confessed to theft and agreed to pay restitution and fines if prosecutors agree to drop the criminal case against him, bringing a likely resolution in a case that has tailed the embattled politician for more than a decade.
Santos appeared virtually Thursday afternoon at the criminal court hearing in the Rio suburb of Niterói where he was given 30 days to pay around $2,000 in fines and $2,800 to the victim. The case won’t be dismissed until the payments are made, court officials said. “The case ended today,” lawyer Jonymar Vasconcelos told The Washington Post in a brief interview. “My client is no longer facing any charges in Brazil.” The deal reached means Santos, 34, won’t have to fight criminal prosecution in two countries. The first-term congressman, who announced his reelection bid last month, was indicted Wednesday in the Eastern District of New York.

I wonder if he wants the criminal charges against him dropped so that he is able to go back to (or flee to) Brazil if he is convicted in the U.S.

^ The timing seems a little suspect -- especially after 10 years.

It's my 11th persona, Gordita “Kitara Ravache” Santos, who fessed up, not me.

It’s obvious that whoever came up with these indictments is clueless about the complexity of my so-called existence.

Those snug sweaters are not doing him any favors. I thought he spent his stolen money on designer clothing? He looks like a blue-light special mess.
