Tate brothers to remain in US jail pending judge's ruling
MIAMI: Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain in a Miami jail for now as they contest extradition to Britain, where they are wanted on rape charges.
Social media personalities Andrew and Tristan Tate are currently held in a Miami jail as they await a ruling on their extradition request to Britain, where they face rape charges. During a hearing in Miami federal court on Thursday, Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis decided against granting bail to the Tate brothers, meaning they will remain in federal custody until a ruling is made.
The brothers, who have dual U.S. and British citizenship, were arrested in Miami on July 18 following a British request for their extradition. They have vehemently denied any wrongdoing, with Tristan Tate testifying that they create exaggerated personas online to attract attention and engagement. The prosecution argued that the Tate brothers' provocative online behavior poses a danger to society and could result in more alleged victims if they were to be released.
