Extradition bid ties Fontes to 1991 crimes in indictment
U S officials allege Fontes committed crimes in 1991 within the statute of limitations. Brazilian officials say they cannot refill the international arrest warrant. Fontes has been jailed since July, first in Baltimore then Libertytown Maryland. A judge noted the two month gap since arrest and rejected prosecutors view that he was a fugitive since 1993. Fontes denies charges via his attorney Beth Farber. He is a Brazilian citizen who lived in the United States since 1976 and worked as a consultant on funding for Brazil and others. Court records allege he conspired with Adrian Levinson to route public funds through intermediaries for a supercomputer project and a quartz plant, with invoices falsely inflated for more than 20.5 million dollars. None recovered. Fontes later lost a related civil case in Washington DC Superior Court. he appeals and has filed for personal bankruptcy.
