George Santos fears that someone will kill him during his stay in prison
George Santos rules out having suicidal instincts and warns that if they report him dead in prison it will be because someone killed him
George Anthony Devolder Santos, former Republican representative sentenced to 87 months in prison for fraud and identity theft, acknowledged being afraid that someone could take his life while he is serving the sentence imposed for his crimes.
Despite the support of the citizenship, including through generous donations, briefly allowed him to represent New York's 3rd Congressional District, the 36-year-old politician abused that trust.
Using some of his donors' credit card numbers, he made excessive personal purchases, including luxury clothing, Botox, and OnlyFans subscriptions. All of this to live a life surrounded by glamour.
The House Ethics Committee conducted an investigation and, upon submitting a report, determined that he should be expelled at the end of 2023.
Months later, the politician pleaded guilty to 23 charges against him, including wire fraud and identity theft.
As a result of his misdeeds, Judge Joanna Seybert sentenced him to more than seven years in prison, largely for not having shown a single gesture of sincere remorse for his misdeeds.
During an appearance on the “Tucker Carlson Show” podcast, the 36-year-old New Yorker said he was distressed about the proximity of his entry into prison where he fears that someone could hurt him and even kill him.
“I don’t know if I’ll survive. They’re putting me in a violent prison. I’m not a smart guy; I don’t know how to fight. This This could be my last interview, and I’m not trying to be dramatic. I’m just being honest. I see it as practically a death sentence for what could happen to me,” he said.
In a post shared earlier this week on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, the former Republican representative warned that if he dies in prison it will not be by suicide.
“I’m going to jail; friends, and I need you to hear this loud and clear: I am not suicidal. I am not depressed.I have no intention of harming myself, and I will not voluntarily engage in any sexual activity while I am there. If anything suggests otherwise, consider it a lie... period.
The statistics regarding what happens to gay men in Bureau of Prisons custody are horrifying, and that is precisely why I am saying this now. So that if something does happen, there will be no confusion. I did NOT commit suicide,” he wrote.
