OTTAWA, Jan 01 (AFP): An American man who absconded after being sentenced to prison for his role in the US Capitol riot is now seeking political asylum in Canada, as he hopes for a pardon when Donald Trump returns to the White House.
Antony Vo, 32, was sentenced to nine months behind bars and ordered to report to a federal prison on June 14, 2024, but instead he fled to Canada.
More than 1,500 people have been charged in connection with the January 6, 2021 assault on Congress.
