Who are the Proud Boys? Leader Enrique Tarrio jailed for 22 years over January 6 Capitol attack

The former leader of the right-wing Proud Boys group Enrique Tarrio has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for his role in the attack on the US Capitol.

Tarrio, 39, from Miami, lowered his head after being given the sentence on Tuesday, before squaring his shoulders. He then raised his hand and made a “V” gesture with his fingers as he was led out of the courtroom. His sentencing comes as the Justice Department prepares to put ex-president Donald Trump on trial at the same courthouse in Washington on charges of fraud.
