As the district attorney said, the Republican Santos is suspected of numerous false statements. The politician has already admitted several: according to this, he has never worked for two banks, as he claimed. Besides, he doesn’t have a college degree. He also admitted that he is not a Jew but a Catholic.
The trigger was an article in the newspaper “New York Times”. Santos was elected to the United States House of Representatives in congressional elections. Regardless of the allegations, he wants to take over his mandate next week.
