It's not clear Santos was ever a target of the investigation but Secret Service agents out of Orlando ended up interviewing him as part of the case, sources said.
New York Republican Congressman George Santos was interviewed by the U.S. Secret Service in 2017 as part of an ATM skimming investigation that targeted a friend of his, sources familiar with the case told ABC News.
That individual, Gustavo Ribeiro Trelha, had been living in a local hotel where multiple card-skimming devices and other incriminating items were subsequently found. The address on the packaging for some of those items was the same address where Santos lived in Florida, the sources said. Trehla was ultimately convicted, sentenced and turned over to immigration authorities for deportation to Brazil but not before Santos appeared in a Seattle courtroom on his friend's behalf.
