Before learning his fate in the middle of ISLIP, New York, the Federal Court on Friday, Santos told the correspondents that he was ready to accept his fate.
“I do so and any person will do it in view of the circumstances,” he told Associated Press on Thursday.
“I will be in court tomorrow ready to face music.”
However, in a letter sent to the court earlier this week, the deception asked the time of his imprisonment to reduce him for two years, which is the minimum accusation.
Santos faced up to seven years in the federal prison and a fine of $ 580,000 for his crimes, which he felt was very harsh.
In an interview with America's news network, Santos said he hoped “the judge will be fair, balanced and even.”
Unlike federal prosecutors trying to drop an anchor on my head […] It is more realistic and does not take this […] Personal direction. ”
Then he insisted on the previous lie that he needs to be in solitary confinement because he is afraid of prison.
Al -Muhafat said: “I fear for my safety.”
The representatives of the false false prosecutor have exploded because of the two while on social media about his concern, as President Donald Trump begged for a presidential amnesty.
But the day before the ruling, Santos pledged not to search for a way out.
“The president knows my dilemma,” he told the New York Times on the New York Times.
“If the president believes that I deserve any level of the compassion he gives, he can move forward and do so, but for me I seek pardon is to refuse to be accountable and responsibility.”

Santos was expelled from the House of Representatives in December 2023 after the Congress Committee revealed what he had already done with the donations of the campaign.
They found that a member of Congress stole the donor credit card information and wire funds for himself due to luxury purchases in stores such as Hermes and Sephora.
He accused him of using donations to pay the price of resorts, Botox procedures, only Fans, travel residences and hotel in Las Vegas.
The committee said that outside the financial crimes, the actor also lied to his education, his experience at work, property ownership, race, religion, and more.

Santos has strengthened his education, experience at work, property ownership, race and religion, among other things.
In May 2023, he was charged with 12 criminal charges, including fraud charges, money laundering and theft of public funds, and the Parliament Ethics Committee launched an investigation.
It was claimed that Santos used donor funds to finance purchases in Hermes only alone, and he lied to collect unemployment, and falsely claimed that he was working in Wall Street and was a volleyball star in a college he had never attended, according to the committee,
He was also accused of manufacturing associations with the Holocaust, September 11 terrorist attacks, and shooting at the Night Pulse Night in Orlando.
Santos admitted lying about some of his history and initially admitted that he was not guilty of charges.
After that, in August, the choice of the jury in his trial begins, Santos admitted that he was guilty of committing wire fraud and stealing tight identity.
He is scheduled to be sentenced to the next year, and he faces at least two years and a maximum of 22 years in the Federal Prison.
Santos was riding high when he turned on the boycott in Long Island, New York, Red, and became the first gay republic who was elected at home.
When he acknowledged that he was guilty of his crimes in August, the disgraceful politician collapsed in crying and begged for forgiveness from everyone who believed in him.
“My family, friends, and people of the third New York province in Congress, I am the oldest of my apologies,” told reporters outside a federal court in the center of ISLIP.
“It was the most proud investigation in my life to represent you, and I think I did it as best I have.
But you also trust me in representing you with the honor and support of the values necessary for our democracy, and in this regard, I failed for you.
“Go ahead, I am devoted to modifying the mistakes I made.”
