Overview
- Federal prosecutors filed a court response Monday asking a Miami judge to keep Andrew and Tristan Tate in federal custody as they fight a British extradition request.
- A detention hearing is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 13, to decide whether the brothers remain jailed during what could be a months‑long extradition process.
- British authorities recently added dozens of charges against the brothers, including counts of rape, human trafficking and offenses tied to indecent or extreme images.
- Prosecutors cite the Tates’ own social‑media posts about multiple passports and boastful comments, along with evidence like commissary receipts, to argue they pose a heightened flight risk and are not without privileges in detention.
- If the U.K. supplies full evidence to the State Department by its mid‑September deadline the case will move to a Secretary of State surrender decision and could involve extended judicial review across the U.S., U.K. and Romania.
