A court in Washington DC has ruled that Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio must remain in detention pending his trial on seven charges stemming from the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

Mr Tarrio, who along with five other Proud Boys members, faces charges including conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, destruction of government property and assaulting, resisting or impeding law enforcement officers, was in Washington in the days before the Capitol riot, and was arrested in March this year. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
