Former Proud Boys leader arrested on conspiracy charges
Although not at the Capitol on 1/6, charged with conspiring with the Proud Boys who were.
[quote]FBI agents arrested Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, former national chairman of extremist group the Proud Boys, in a dawn raid Tuesday in Florida on conspiracy charges in relation to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Tarrio, who will make his initial court appearance Tuesday, was named in a superseding indictment that includes five previously charged Proud Boys defendants.
The indictment is unusual because Tarrio was not present at the Capitol on Jan. 6. He was arrested two days prior to the insurrection on unrelated charges by Metropolitan D.C. police and was barred by a judge from protesting in the city on Jan. 6.
Tarrio was added as a defendant in an existing conspiracy case against five other members of the Proud Boys who allegedly attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6.[/quote]
