Five leaders of the far right group “Gorky Boys”, who were convicted in connection on January 6, 2021 rebellion, sued the US government for $ 100 million (74 million pounds), saying that their rights were violated during the persecution.
Five were convicted of construction and participation in the riot to cancel the loss of President Donald Trump in the 2020 elections. Trump pardoned or moved his sentences earlier this year.
The lawsuit filed on Florida on Friday claims that the FBI and prosecutors were motivated by personal prejudice in the persecution of their affairs.
They claim that their constitutional rights were trodden “to punish and oppress the political allies” Trump.
The lawsuit was filed by Henry “Enrike” Tarrio, Ethan Norden, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rel and Dominic Petola.
Tarrio was found guilty of the fact that as a result of the attack on the US Capitol in 2021, which took place when lawmakers certified victory in the former President Joe Biden’s election in 2020. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison, the longest of five.
He was officially convicted of seditious conspiracy, rarely charged with planning a government’s failure and several other points.
The other four leaders faced similar allegations and were convicted at bars.
Their convictions were abolished by Trump, which on the day of his inauguration issued about 1500 pardons of the people who participated in the Capitol riot.
“These people were destroyed,” Trump said after signing his sides. “What they did with these people causes an outrage. Rarely was in the history of our country.”
The lawsuit filed on Friday claims that five proud boys were subjected to “outrageous and systemic abuse of the legal system”. He accuses the prosecutor’s office of participating in the cases of “forgery of evidence” and “intimidation of witnesses”.
He also claims that their persecution was “corrupt and politically motivated”.
The lawsuit was initiated against the Ministry of Justice, which is currently working under the Trump administration and is governed by the Prosecutor General Bondi.
The BBC appealed to the Ministry of Justice for comment.
According to the data published by the Department in January, approximately 1583 were charged with crimes related to the Capitol rebel.
More than 600 were accused of attacking, resisting or obstructing law enforcement agencies, including about 175, accused of using death or dangerous weapons or the cause of the officer serious bodily harm.
Police of the Capitol police attacked a riot with weapons, including metal batons, wooden boards, flagships, fire extinguishers and pepper.
Many of the legislators condemned the rebellion, while Trump called it a “day of love.”
Democratic legislators were criticized that were criticized as an attempt to rewrite history.
Former speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, who was forced to escape during the riots, called the sides “an outrageous insult to our justice”.
