Rep. George Santos makes deal with Brazilian authorities to avoid prosecution

Republican Rep. George Santos’ deal with Brazilian authorities to avoid prosecution in a 2008 fraud case is expected to be finalized Thursday in Rio de Janeiro, according to documents viewed by CNN. Prosecutors proposed a deal with Santos in which he would pay a fine to the state of Rio de Janeiro and reimburse the victim for the full amount he defrauded, adjusted for inflation. Santos is expected to appear before the judge via video Thursday afternoon.
