Adriana Damasceno said she accompanied Santos on a trip to the US where he allegedly drained thousands from her bank account.
“I am suffering the pile on effect. Everybody that has ever wanted to come for me is coming for me and they are making s–t up on the way and I look very much forward to poking holes in all these people who are making these insane accusations without any corroborating evidence, because it is false,” he said.
Damasceno told the news program that she didn’t go to the police because she feared that Santos would simply return to the US to avoid prosecution. “He has dual nationality,” she said. The embattled lawmaker, who has been caught in a web of falsehoods, defeated Democrat Robert Zimmerman by almost 22,000 votes in the race to represent the Nassau County- and Queens-based Third District. He was sworn in earlier this month.
