Tate brothers to remain in US jail as they fight extradition to UK
A federal judge denied them bail, saying the dual US-UK citizens' wealth and frequent international travel "constitute quintessential flight risks".
Andrew and Tristan Tate have been denied bail by a federal judge in Miami as they fight potential extradition to the UK on charges of rape and trafficking. The dual US-UK citizens are being held due to their wealth and history of international travel, which judges deem significant flight risks. US authorities have held the brothers in custody since their July arrest in Miami, following the UK Crown Prosecution Service's announcement of new charges against them.
The UK has until September 16th to submit a full extradition request. They face 59 charges in the UK, including rape, sex trafficking, and indecent images of a child, with 38 additional charges added in July for alleged actions between 2010 and 2017. The brothers have denied all allegations. US politicians, such as Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, have objected to their arrival in the US.
The brothers maintain their innocence, with Andrew stating he has never committed the crimes he is accused of. They argue they complied with their release conditions while facing charges in the UK and Romania. The British Embassy had requested the judge to keep the Tate brothers in custody, claiming they are flight risks and potential threats to witnesses if released.
