"A former Georgetown University official previously convicted of entering the U.S. illegally has fled the country amid accusations he embezzled more than $300,000, according to recently unsealed records.
Pedro dos Santos, who was working as associate director for Georgetown's Brazilian studies program, became the focus of an internal audit in 2005 after the theft of more than $300,000...
... According to an FBI affidavit, dos Santos was confronted by university auditors on March 22, 2005, and signed a document stating he would pay $300,000 in restitution...
...Authorities say he received $311,000 from October 2001 through January 2005 in more than 100 checks made payable to "Nelson Arias Inc."
Authorities said they could not verify anybody named Nelson Arias in the field of Latin American studies.
The payments, most of them requested by dos Santos, purportedly were for guest lecturing services on behalf of the Brazilian Studies Program.
Dos Santos submitted phony invoices to Georgetown's accounts payable department and deposited the checks into his personal bank account, authorities say."
