Prosecutors in Brazil 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
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.
The petition from Santos' attorney, filed in January, requests a non-prosecutorial agreement in lieu of a trial for his client, arguing that Santos is now gainfully employed and "re-socialized." The petition also requested permission for Santos to be contacted by the court via email or phone, and participate in the proceedings via videoconference.Santos did not comment when asked about this reporting on Capitol Hill by CNN's Manu Raju.
