George Santos Sentenced to 7 Years in Prison for Fraud, Identify Theft​on April 25, 2025 at 4:33 pm

George Santos has been sentenced after pleading guilty to wire fraud and identity theft charges … receiving more than seven years behind bars.

The disgraced former NY congressman was sentenced in a Long Island courtroom Friday … receiving 87 months in a federal prison. He must also pay more than $370K in restitution, and he’s forfeiting certain assets … to bring the total cost close to $580K.

Santos was facing a mandatory-minimum sentence of two years in prison for the ID-theft conviction … but, it looks like a judge thought that didn’t meet the punishment threshold for his crimes.

Santos said he would request to serve his time in solitary confinement for his own protection … unclear if he’ll be granted that at this time.

As we told you … Santos was indicted back in May 2023 — a move he called a total witch hunt at the time — and, he was ultimately charged with close to two dozen crimes.

GS copped a plea deal last summer … pleading guilty to aggravated identity theft and wire fraud — appearing in court to reportedly cop to using a campaign donor’s credit card in September and October 2022.

GS was elected to Congress in 2022 and sworn in January 2023 — and he was booted from office amid a federal investigation less than a year into his first and only term. Many elements of his campaign biography were also found to be fabricated.
