More than 200 suspects in the US “Capitol attack” have been charged

More than a month has passed since the storming of the US Congress, and the investigation into the incident is still ongoing. According to a recent report by NBC, federal prosecutors have filed lawsuits against more than 200 suspects from 43 states in the United States. The report said that the charges against the more than 200 suspects include assaulting law enforcement officers, threatening to attack members of Congress, illegally entering federal buildings, theft, and damaging public property. The suspects come from 43 states in the United States, with the largest number of suspects in Texas and New York. Among all the more than 200 suspects, the ratio of men to women is 7:1. At least 20 of them are veterans, and more than 20 are associated with extreme right-wing organizations such as the “Proud Boys” and “Oath Keepers”. Seamus Hughes, a researcher on extremism at George Washington University: In many ways, the storming of the Congress is like a light that attracts extremists from all over the world. So far, there has been no follow-up on the five deaths caused by the storming of the Congress, especially the shooting and killing of a demonstrator by a police officer on the spot. In addition, the arrest warrants and indictments against the suspects have not yet indicated which person or organization conspired to plan the storming of the Capitol, nor when the incident was first planned. Federal prosecutor Michael Sherwin has previously stated that he will investigate whether the violent storming of the Capitol was organized and premeditated, and whether there were individuals or groups who “conspired” and “incited rebellion” with the suspects at the scene. If convicted, these charges carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
