Reputed underworld figure, Victor Fara, has dodged prosecutors for the better part of five years, clearing his more serious charges of racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder. Fara, 50, has had multiple charges levelled against him since his tenure in the Los Santos mob scene. The reclusive figure is known for breaking the flamboyant stereotype of gangsters with his toned down approach and honest exterior. Fara has been cited as Joseph "Skinny" Merlino's complete opposite in every sense of the phrase.
Christopher Balsimo and Victor Fara, Fremont Avenue (Apr. 2015):
V. FARA: Yeah, hey. I don't know who you've been working for in the past or if you've been a lone wolf. But me? I'm not conventional. You keep me happy, I'll keep you happy.
C. BALSIMO: We used to work for Joey, way before. I was under his wing.
V. FARA: Yeah, I'm not like your average wannabe on the street. I've got points to prove, sure but I've got a different way of doing what I do.
Prosecutors have doubled down on their efforts to make up for their previous blunder on the highly publicized RICO trial levied against Victor Fara three months ago. The case was thrown out of the window when the detectives were proven to have mishandled evidence. Victor was subsequently sentenced to one year in prison for conspiracy to commit money laundering after a new cased was presented.
It was heard today that Victor Fara was caught on tape explaining to three associates how to clean "dirty" cash through the process of falsifying invoices and other records. The evidence was concrete and Fara's fate was sealed after the jury reached a unanimous verdict.
The Detroit native will serve his time in the San Andreas Correctional Facility (SACF) if convicted.
