Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Miami following a request from the UK for their extradition on numerous charges, including rape and sex trafficking. British prosecutors have brought 59 charges against the brothers, with offenses allegedly occurring between 2010 and 2017. While some charges are new, relating to four additional victims, the brothers also face prior charges in the UK and ongoing allegations in Romania and the US. The Tate brothers have consistently denied all charges, with their lawyer characterizing the situation as a "political hit job" and an "egregious abuse of its own authority" by the Department of Justice.
