US District Judge Timothy Kelly imposes the sentence on Enrique Tarrio of Miami for his role in the riot by then-President Donald Trump's supporters
WASHINGTON, DC, USA – A former leader of the right-wing Proud Boys group, Enrique Tarrio, was sentenced to 22 years in prison on Tuesday, September 5, for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, the longest sentence so far in the case.
Tarrio’s lawyers said his absence from Washington on January 6, the result of another judge’s earlier order, meant that he had no “direct influence” on the riot. Kelly last week sentenced another far-right Proud Boys leader, Ethan Nordean, to 18 years. Oath Keepers militia founder Stewart Rhodes in May was also sentenced to 18 years.
