Prosecutors want a 33-year prison sentence for Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader convicted of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 riot.
The Justice Department is seeking 33 years in prison for Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader convicted of seditious conspiracy in one of the most serious cases to emerge from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to court documents filed Thursday.
Such a sentence would be by far the longest punishment imposed in a case stemming from the insurrection. Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who was convicted ofTarrio, who once served as national chairman of the far-right extremist Proud Boys, and three lieutenants were of conspiring to block the transfer of presidential power in the hopes of keeping then-President Trump in the White House after he lost the 2020 election.Tarrio, who was not at the Capitol riot itself, was a top target of what has become the largest Justice Department investigation in American history.
“They unleashed a force on the Capitol that was calculated to exert their political will on elected officials by force and to undo the results of a democratic election,” prosecutors wrote in their filing. “The foot soldiers of the right aimed to keep their leader in power. They failed. They are not heroes; they are criminals.”
