Federico Guillermo Klein was convicted by US District Judge Trevor McFadden along with co-defendant Steven Cappuccio. Judge McFadden heard testimony without a jury before convicting the pair of assault charges and other felony offences relating to the riot at the US Capitol by a group of Trump supporters trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Klein and Cappuccio were among nine co-defendants charged with crimes related to one of the most violent moments of the January 6 siege - brutal waves of hand-to-hand combat between rioters and police officers in a tunnel leading to a Capitol entrance on the Lower West Terrace. Prosecutors said in a court filing that Kelin and Cappuccio converged on the tunnel as the outnumbered police officers struggled for hours to hold back the mob of rioters. Judge McFadden convicted Klein on 12 counts, including six charging him with assaulting, resisting, or impeding police officers. He is set to be sentenced on November 3.
