Public ministries on the George Santos case are looking for a 7 -year sentence
In his push to look for upper offices, he said the deposit of public ministries, Santos has built his past and has committed himself to deceptive patterns, including the infigure his fundraising numbers and the theft of donors. “He lied to his campaign staff, his supporters, his putative employer and the colleagues of the Congress and the American public,” Ministries wrote.
“The conduct of Santos has made fun of our electoral system,” they added.
The lawyers of Mr. Santos, Robert M. Fantone and Joseph W. Murray, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Saturday morning. On Friday, in a separate deposit, they asked for a two -year sentence, the minimum allowed for the crimes involved, followed by supervised freedom. Mr. Santos had recognized the seriousness of his crimes, said the deposit and had agreed to pay almost $ 374,000 in return.
“His conduct, although he involves dishonesty and abuse of trust, largely derived from a misleading despair linked to his political campaign, rather than the intrinsic malice,” wrote his lawyers. The public misfortune that Mr. Santos has endured and his removal from the congress meant that it was unlikely that similar crimes in the future committed, they said.
The public ministries in their deposit did not agree, writing that a significant sentence was needed to dissuade Mr. Santos from frauding the public. They said that the former members of the congress had made efforts to “exploit his breakdown of the law as a springboard for celebrities and wealth”. Public ministries have cited its appearance Cameoa video sharing platform for celebrities, his participation in a documentary And the debut of his recent podcast, “Pants on Fire with George Santos”.
Santos broke out on the national phase in 2022 after his elections to the congress helped his party to win the room control. Young, gay and son of Brazilian immigrants, Mr. Santos has positioned himself as part of the new face of the Republican Party and a proud supporter of Donald Trump.
