Disgraced former congressman George Santos faces more than seven years in prison after pleading guilty to fraud and identity theft.
In a Friday court filing, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York ripped Santos for “greed” and said his “unparalleled crimes” had “made a mockery” of the country’s election system. The office argued that Santos should face a substantive prison sentence due to his “high likelihood of reoffending,” the Associated Press reported.
“From his creation of a wholly fictitious biography to his callous theft of money from elderly and impaired donors, Santos’s unrestrained greed and voracious appetite for fame enabled him to exploit the very system by which we select our representatives,” prosecutors wrote.
