Enrique Tarrio who was a former chairman of the right-wing Proud Boys group was sentenced to 22 years imprisonment on Tuesday for the role he played in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of ex-President Donald Trump trying to overturn his election defeat.
It was the longest sentence for a January 6 defendant handed down in connection with the January 6 riots although he was not present at the US Capitol Building on the day of the incident.
Federal prosecutors said during a sentencing hearing in the US District Court for the District of Columbia."This was a calculated act of terrorism." "He practised, and he endorsed the use of misinformation." it was added.
Enrique Tarrio was convicted of seditious conspiracy, and leading a failed plot to prevent the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.
Prosecutors had asked US District Judge Timothy Kelly to sentence Tarrio to 33 years behind bars, saying he helped direct the attack from Baltimore but Tarrio's attorneys had asked for a substantially shorter sentence.
Kelly last week sentenced another far-right Proud Boys leader, Ethan Nordean, to 18 years, less than the 27 years prosecutors had sought. Oath Keepers militia founder Stewart Rhodes in May was also sentenced to 18 years.
Over 1,100 people have been arrested on charges related to the Capitol assault. At least 630 have pleaded guilty and at least 110 have been convicted at trial. Five people, including a police officer, died during or shortly after the riot and more than 140 police officers were injured.
Special Counsel Jack Smith, who was tapped to investigate broader efforts to overturn the 2020 election, has charged Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, for trying to keep himself in power.

右翼驕傲男孩組織前主席恩里克·塔里奧(Enrique Tarrio) 於週二被判處22 年監禁，原因是他在2021 年1 月6 日前總統唐納德·特朗普的支持者試圖襲擊美國國會大廈的事件中所扮演的角色。推翻他的選舉失敗。
這是 1 月 6 日被告因 1 月 6 日騷亂而被判處的最長刑期，儘管事件發生當天他並不在美國國會大廈。
聯邦檢察官在美國哥倫比亞特區地方法院的量刑聽證會上表示， “這是一次有計劃的恐怖主義行為。” “他進行了練習，並且支持使用錯誤信息。” 它被添加了。
恩里克·塔里奧被判犯有煽動陰謀罪，並領導了一場失敗的陰謀，以阻止唐納德·特朗普將權力移交給喬·拜登。
檢察官要求美國地區法官蒂莫西·凱利判處塔里奧 33 年監禁，稱他幫助指揮了巴爾的摩的襲擊，但塔里奧的律師要求大幅縮短刑期。
凱利上週判處另一位極右翼驕傲男孩領袖伊森·諾丁 (Ethan Nordean) 18 年徒刑，低於檢察官要求的 27 年徒刑。 誓言守護者民兵創始人斯圖爾特·羅茲 (Stewart Rhodes) 5 月也被判處 18 年徒刑。
