UK prosecutors argue Tate brothers a flight risk ahead of bail hearing
British prosecutors are urging a US court to deny a request by influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan that they be released from jail while extradition proceedings play out, ahead of a detention hearing.
British prosecutors have urged a US court to reject a request by social media influencers Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan to be released on bail while extradition proceedings take place. The brothers, held in Florida since their July arrest, have been charged with 38 offenses, including rape, sex trafficking, and child pornography, by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in England and Wales.
Both brothers deny the charges. Prosecutors argue that the Tate brothers are a flight risk and may hinder witness testimony, citing their resources, social media influence, and history of intimidating witnesses. The hearing will decide if the brothers remain in jail during the legal proceedings. The brothers, British-US citizens, were arrested in Miami on July 19 and face a total of 59 charges, including rape, sex trafficking, and indecent images of a child. US courts will ultimately decide on extradition to the UK.
