Five Proud Boys Indicted for Seditious Conspiracy in Capitol Riot

Five members of the Proud Boys have been indicted for seditious conspiracy related to their storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.

An amended indictment unsealed in Federal District Court in Washington shows that Enrique Tarrio, who formerly served as the chairman of the Proud Boys, Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola, were indicted for seditious conspiracy.

All of the men were members of the extremist group and had traveled to DC from across the country for the Jan. 6 protest — an event that evolved into a riot and resulted in the storming of the United States Capitol.

Tarrio was not in the nation’s capitol when the Capitol Riot occurred, the filing notes: he had left the city following an order from a local judge after he was charged with the December burning of a Black Lives Matter banner.

Though Tarrio was not accused with “physically taking part in the breach of the Capitol,” the filing said, he still “led the advance planning and remained in contact with other members of the Proud Boys during” the riot, ordered the group to go “incognito” rather than wearing their traditional shirts, and created a “command and control structure” in a Telegram group chat.
