George Santos’ father bailed him out of jail: Judge reveals liar’s father and Long Island aunt clubbed together for the $500,000 bail it took to free him from custody
The mystery of who posted Republican Representative George Santos’ $500.00 bail to get him out of federal custody has been solved – and it was his father.
The Republican liar’s father, Gercino dos Santos Jr., and his aunt, Elma Preven, were responsible for raising the funds to get Rep. Santos out of jail on 13 charges, including wire fraud and theft of public funds.
The unsealing of the documents by the judge on Thursday puts an end to furious speculation about who was behind the payment.
The Republican congressman who was under fire for lying about parts of his resume tried to prevent the bailors’ identities from being made public.
His lawyer claimed that Santos would rather remain in prison than have the identity made public.

The court rejected his appeal earlier this week by ruling that the names could be released at noon on Thursday.
Santos’ father lives in New York and works as a painter — and his aunt is a mail carrier for the US Postal Service, the New York Times reported.
The fabulous Republican representative’s father and aunt did not guarantee the bond with cash or property, but “agreed to be personally responsible for the defendant’s compliance.”
Santis has engaged in a slew of problematic — and illegal — conduct since his campaign for Congress. But the lies were only exposed after he was elected as the new congressman for New York’s 3rd Congressional District.
Allegations against Santos in the indictment allege that he applied for New York unemployment benefits under fraudulent pretenses because he was making $120,000 a year from a Florida investment company.
The indictment also states that he spent tens of thousands of dollars donated to his congressional campaign on personal expenses such as his car payment and designer goods — and lied to Congress on financial disclosure forms.
