Ex-US solon meted 7 years for fraud

Manila Bulletin

April 27, 2025

Disgraced former US Rep. George Santos was sentenced Friday to over seven years in prison, sobbing as he learned his punishment for the crimes that led to his expulsion from Congress.

Santos, who pleaded guilty last summer to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, appealed for mercy.

In a federal court a short drive from his old congressional district, he said through tears that he was “humbled” and “chastened” and understood he had betrayed his constituents’ trust.

“I offer my deepest apologies,” he said, adding: “I cannot rewrite the past, but I can control the road ahead.”

US District Court Judge Joanna Seybert evidently wasn’t convinced.
