Washington, Apr 29 (AP) The Justice Department announced federal hate crime charges in the death of a Georgia man who was killed while out for a run last year.
The criminal case charging the three men in connection with the death of Ahmaud Arbery is the most significant civil rights prosecution undertaken to date by the Biden administration Justice Department.
It comes as federal officials have moved quickly to open sweeping investigations into troubled police departments as civil rights takes centre stage among the department's priorities.
Travis McMichael and his father, Gregory, and a third man, William “Roddie” Bryan, are all charged with one count of interference with civil rights and attempted kidnapping on Wednesday.
The McMichaels are also charged with using, carrying and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. (AP)
