乔治·桑托斯获释,特朗普减刑释放

摘要

前国会议员乔治·桑托斯因诈骗和身份盗窃被判七年监禁,现因特朗普总统减刑而获释。

前国会议员乔治·桑托斯在特朗普总统减刑其七年诈骗和身份盗窃刑期后获释。37岁的桑托斯在减刑宣布前仅服刑不到三个月。

特朗普总统在社交媒体上称桑托斯为“某种程度上的‘流氓’”,但指出“我们国家有许多流氓却没有被判七年监禁。”他补充道:“乔治曾长期被单独监禁,据所有报告显示,遭受了极其恶劣的待遇。因此,我刚刚签署了减刑令,立即释放乔治·桑托斯。祝你好运,乔治,生活愉快!”

桑托斯于2024年8月认罪,承认电信诈骗和加重身份盗窃罪,承认欺骗捐赠者并将资金挪用于个人开支。他还承认盗用了包括家人在内的11个人的身份,未经授权为其竞选活动捐款。

获释后,桑托斯表达了悔意和前进的愿望。“我明白人们想把这事说成‘他逍遥法外’。我并没有逍遥法外,”他说。“我不想专注于反复回顾过去,而是想利用这次经历做好事,向前看。悔改之词远远不足以表达,我得到了第二次机会。”

减刑决定引发了不同反应。曾支持桑托斯获释的众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林感谢总统,称桑托斯“遭受了不公正待遇并被单独监禁,那简直是酷刑!!”而众议员尼克·拉洛塔则批评此决定,强调桑托斯“盗窃数百万,欺骗选举,他认罪的罪行应判处超过三个月的刑期。”

2023年12月,众议院道德委员会认定桑托斯利用竞选身份谋取私利后,他被逐出国会。
