WASHINGTON—A jury found four leading figures of the Proud Boys, including its former chairman Enrique Tarrio, guilty of seditious conspiracy, the gravest charge brought in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. 

The verdict on Thursday, which left some charges against a fifth member of the far-right group undecided, came more than a week after the jury started deliberating in a trial that dragged out for more than three months over legal objections and other courtroom wrangling between federal prosecutors and defense lawyers.
