The far-right Proud Boys group, which was recently designated as a terrorist group by the Canadian government, is splintering in the wake of news that one of its leaders, Enrique Tarrio, was a longtime FBI informant.
Tarrio was unmasked, after his arrest for destruction of property, as an informant several weeks after the riot at the US Capitol where multiple members were involved and arrested for the riot. Since the riot on January 6, the group has been thrown into disarray, with Tarrio's exposure as informant spreading paranoia. Tarrio's exposure as an informate, caused chapters in Alabama, Oklahoma and Indiana to distance themselves from the leader.
