The identities of the sureties had been a mystery since May, when Mr. Santos pleaded not guilty to a 13-count indictment.
Mr. Santos’ lawyer recently said the lawmaker would rather go to jail than reveal who bailed him out. He feared they would be subject to harassment or threats. U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert in Central Islip, New York, on Tuesday ordered the names of the sureties to be revealed at midday Thursday. She said the order provided Mr. Santos time to make arrangements if the people who had posted his bond decided to withdraw.
Mr. Santos faces seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.The life story he created began to unravel shortly after his election win. Numerous reports revealed that the congressman had lied about his education, work history and even his Jewish heritage.
