Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio held without bond on Jan. 6 charges

Washington – Enrique Tarrio, leader of the far-right group the Proud Boys, will remain jailed pending trial, a magistrate judge in Florida ordered Tuesday. Tarrio was indicted for conspiracy and other charges related to the assault on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

He was arrested in Miami last week after a superseding indictment was handed up by a Washington, D.C., grand jury that included five other Proud Boys members who were previously charged in relation to January 6.

Tarrio has not been accused of taking part physically in the Capitol rioting, but the Justice Department alleges he led the advance planning of the attack and remained in contact with some of the Proud Boys while they were taking part in the assault on the Capitol.
