George Santos' Brazilian Lawyer Once Convicted For Mob Execution
In case you’ve lost track, in addition to the myriad U.S. criminal investigations into Santos, there’s also the fraud case in Brazil over his use of a stolen checkbook to purchase $700 in clothes.
The case went dormant when Brazilian authorities couldn’t find Santos but now – well, you can’t miss him. Not surprisingly, Santos now denies the crime he previously twice admitted.
It’s not clear whether Santos had trouble finding a reputable lawyer to represent him in Brazil or if for some reason he really wanted the guy he chose. But he managed to find someone even more sordid than himself, something that would not seem possible.
As The Daily Beast reported, via Folha de S.Paulo, Santos’ attorney, Jonymar Vasconcelos, was sentenced to 18 years in prison in 2007 for his paid role in the fatal shooting of a mechanic three years earlier.
