Prosecutors at the state and county level have opened criminal investigations.
Good presecutors don't open investigations willy-nilly. And note that the county prosecutor is a Republican. And, if he lied on his campaign forms, that is Federal matter.
My guess is that he's going to get a Weiner-deal: Quit and the charges will disappear.
(ETA to add link to Federal investigation.)

Weiner ended up in jail after resigning anyway. His name and how it ran his life is to blame for the continuation of his problems.
Apparently, they have to seat him. Beyond that though ... he should probably run to Mexico
Shamelessness is not a super power. I'm hoping the prosecutor nails his lying ass to the wall...
I doubt Santos will walk away from this. There's growing evidence he's committed different acts of fraud using fake IDs to run fake charities. He's likely on the hook for violating federal election filing regulations. And if Brazil has any balls, they'll reopen his check-kiting cases and demand extradition.
Santos is one of those unstoppable grifters, who gaslights his entire way through life up until the moment they slam the jail cell door on him.
Ten Bears: I've read those legal arguments, that like it or not nobody can stop him now from taking his seat in Congress. Thing is, the minute he takes it he's under federal investigation for every effing lie he told.
Also, I doubt Santos should flee to Mexico. The ways things are going, there's going to be evidence Santos committed acts of fraud THERE...
Mexico has experience with these kinds of grifters. He would be likely to be extradited. I am not Mexican, but i can say that they still remember things.
