EAST Timorese rebel leader Alfredo Reinado faces at least five years in jail after being charged with multiple criminal offences including attempted murder, his lawyer said today.
Prosecutors yesterday charged Major Reinado with offences including attempted murder, embezzlement of military outfits and theft, his lawyer Benevidos Barros said.
"The punishment could be more than five years due to the multiple counts," Mr Barros told AFP without giving further details.
Australian-led international peacekeepers on Tuesday detained MajorReinado and 20 other individuals for possessing nine hand guns allegedly seized at their location.
Major Reinado led a rebel group of military police to Maubisse, south of Dili, amid an outbreak of violence in May.
The violence involved fighting between rival security force factions and ethnic gangs.
The unrest had its origins in the March sacking of about 600 soldiers, who had deserted their barracks complaining of discrimination.
East Timor's president Xanana Gusmao has defended Major Reinado in the past, saying that the rebel leader had taken his men into the mountains to avoid conflict.

If he is found guilty of those offences, and thats an "if", I hope he rots in jail. If he is not, then, as much as I despise him, he should be welcomed back into the community.
Is it not interesting. Benevides Barros as his lawyer. A rebel with a corrput lawyer representing him. Benevides Barros was present when the Prosecutor General and another prosecutor, Estaquio tried to obtain corrupt payments from Mr Aquileon, a Timorese business man above and beyond a fine ordered by the trial judge in a prosecution against Mr Aquileon. Mr Barros is alos famous for representing two clients at the same teime in contentious litigious matters against one another.
Both Reainado and Barros are all children of famous pro-autonomy people who made alot money and obtained alot of benefits from their collaboration with the Indonesians and were never por-independence people.
Timor is a small place.

O líder rebelde de Timor-Leste Alfredo Reinado enfrenta pelo menos cinco anos na prisão depois de ter sido acusado com múltiplas ofensas criminais incluindo tentativa de homicídio, disse hoje o seu advogado.
Os Procuradores ontem acusaram o Major Reinado com ofensas incluindo tentativa de homicídio, desvio de equipamentos militares e roubo, disse o seu advogado Benevidos Barros.
"A punição pode ser superior a cinco anos devido às múltiplas acusações," disse o Sr Barros à AFP sem dar mais detalhes.
As tropas lideradas pelos Australianos na Terça-feira detiveram o Major Reinado e 20 outros indivíduos por terem na sua posse 9 pistolas alegadamente apanhadas onde estavam.
O Major Reinado conduziu um grupo rebelde de polícias militares para Maubisse, no sul Dili, no meio de um surto de violência em Maio.
A violência envolveu lutas entre facções rivais das forças de segurança e gangs étnicos.
O desassossego teve as suas origens no despedimento de cerca de 600 soldados em Março, que tinham desertado dos seus quartéis queixando-se de discriminação.
O presidente de Timor-Leste Xanana Gusmão defendeu o Major Reinado no passsado, dizendo que o líder rebelde levou os seus homens para aa montanhas para evitar conflitos.

So the bastard is not only a desertor a thief and a Killer he was a traitor as well. Bastards like him only answer to the colour of money! May he rot in jail
