Photo from a federal criminal complaint against Agnieszka Chwiesiuk, 29, of Chicago, who was arrested Monday on federal charges alleging she illegally entered the U.S. Capitol with her brother, Karol, a Chicago police officer on Jan. 6, 2021.
As part of the conditions of her release, Chwiesiuk was ordered not to talk about her case or the ongoing federal investigation of the U.S. Capitol breach with her brother, Karol Chwiesuik,Agnieszka Chwiesiuk appeared in court dressed in a black shirt and pants, black-and-white sneakers and shackles around her ankles. She answered with a soft, “Yes,” as the judge asked her if she understood the charges and her rights under the law.
Surveillance footage captured the siblings walking through the Capitol crypt area appearing to film the mob. Agents said then that they were not taking her into custody. However, the FBI later recovered photographs from her brother’s damaged cellphone that showed both of them attending a rally by President Donald Trump and later inside the Capitol, according to the complaint.
