U.S. Capitol Police said on Saturday that they recommended disciplinary action in six cases after an internal review of officers’ behavior following the Jan.6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The department’s Professional Accountability Office opened 38 internal investigations and was able to identify 26 of the officers involved, police said in a statement. He said that in 20 of the cases no wrongdoing was found.

However, police said “violations were upheld and disciplinary action recommended” in six of the cases – including three for “improper conduct”, one for failing to follow instructions, one for “inappropriate remarks” and one. for “inappropriate dissemination of information.”

The statement also said that the US prosecutor’s office did not find sufficient evidence that one of the officers committed a crime.

More than 600 people face charges in the January 6 attack, in which a mob loyal to then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol, battled police and attempted to prevent certification of President Joe Biden’s electoral victory.

The statement said an internal review of another case is underway involving an official accused of “unsatisfactory performance and improper conduct”. He said an internal investigation began after a criminal investigation and no charges have been laid.

Five people died in the attack on Capitol Hill and its aftermath, including Trump supporter Ashli ​​Babbitt, who was shot and killed by police. A policeman who fought the crowd later died and several policemen later committed suicide.
