Disgraced former congressman George Santos has reported to prison to begin a more than seven-year sentence for wire fraud, identity theft and other charges.
The federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed to the BBC on Friday that Santos was in custody at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey.
The 37-year-old pleaded guilty to federal charges in New York court last year.
It marked the downfall of the novice New York politician, who was expelled from Congress after the fraud case alleged that he lied about his background and misused campaign funds to finance a luxury lifestyle.
In a post on X before he reported to prison, Santos said his "rhinestones are packed".
