The Justice Department is seeking a 33-year prison sentence for Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with the January 6th attack on the US Capitol. This would be the longest sentence handed down in the prosecutions related to the riot. Tarrio and three other Proud Boys members were convicted of conspiring to block the transfer of presidential power and were viewed as foot soldiers fighting for Trump. Prosecutors argue that their actions were an attempt to exert political will through force and overturn the election results.
