Judge grants media orgs’ request to unseal names of George Santos bond suretors

By Ben Brachfeld Posted on June 6, 2023

In a decision still under seal, Magistrate Judge Anne Shields granted the requests by the news organizations, which maintained there is a “compelling public interest” in making public the names of Santos’ guarantors, who co-signed the bond to keep him out of jail pending a trial on charges of fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, and lying to Congress.
