US EditionGeorge Santos’ Former Treasurer Sentenced to Probation over Bogus Reports
- Nancy Marks, who previously served as George Santos' campaign treasurer, received a probationary sentence of three years on Wednesday in Central Islip, New York.
- Marks pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy after admitting to fabricating campaign finance reports to inflate donations during the 2022 election cycle.
- She admitted to assisting Santos in exaggerating campaign contributions during the 2022 election cycle by submitting finance reports that listed fictitious contributors, among them more than ten relatives from both her and Santos’s families, and falsely reported that Santos had provided a $500,000 loan to meet the Republican Party’s fundraising requirements.
- U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert ordered Marks to pay more than $178,000 in restitution, and she faced up to five years in prison for the offense.
- The case contributes to broader inquiries into Santos, a disgraced ex-congressman sentenced to over seven years for wire fraud, whose falsehoods led to criminal and congressional investigations.
