Overview
- Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested by U.S. Marshals in Miami on July 18 and remain in federal custody while Britain seeks to extradite them.
- Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service has charged the brothers with a total of 59 counts, including rape, sex trafficking and offences tied to indecent images, alleged to involve four complainants from 2010–2017.
- U.S. courts set a schedule for the case: the defense must file a bail motion by August 5 and a detention hearing is scheduled for August 13, while Britain has until September 16 to submit its full extradition materials.
- U.S. prosecutors argue the brothers are a flight risk and a danger to the community and a judge must first find probable cause before the U.S. Secretary of State can decide on surrender.
- The Tates deny wrongdoing, say they will fight extradition, and their lawyers report threats to their safety in jail as Andrew continues to publish messages through his legal team.
