Former North American congressman George Santos, son of Brazilian parents, announced this Wednesday (19) his new venture: a profile on Onlyfans, a platform commonly used to sell adult content.
“The moment you’ve all been waiting for! Only on Onlyfans will you be able to see the complete behind-the-scenes scenes and have access to everything I’m working on. See you there”, wrote the former deputy on X. In response to a follower, who suggested he open a profile on the professional platform Patreon, Santos wrote: “Boring. We need controversy!”
Arrested in the USA in 2023 on thirteen charges involving fraud, money laundering, embezzlement of public funds and false statements, George Santos was the first deputy expelled from the American Chamber in 20 years.
Santos is 35 years old, born in the USA to Brazilian parents, but spent part of his childhood in Rio de Janeiro. In 2022, he was the first Brazilian citizen elected to be an American deputy and the first gay deputy of the Republican party. Less than a year later, however, Santos found his name involved in a series of scandals.
The first controversy to come to light was the deputy’s CV, which included two false degrees from reputable universities and experience at large Wall Street banks. All institutions denied that he studied or worked there. Confronted, Santos admitted to having lied on his resume.
Months later, an investigation by the Campaign Legal Center, linked to the American government, found misuse of George’s campaign resources and concealment of donors. He was arrested in May 2023 and lost his mandate the following December.
George is free to face seven charges of fraud, three of money laundering, one of embezzlement of public funds and two of false statements before the House of Representatives, in addition to one charge of embezzlement in Brazil.
According to investigations, Santos induced supporters to donate money to a company under the false pretext that the amounts would be used to support his campaign. Instead, he would have used the money for personal expenses, such as designer clothes, credit card bills and cosmetic procedures.
