Tate brothers face at least two more weeks in US jail as bail bid reviewed

The conditions faced by the brothers in prison in Miami are a far cry from the luxury lifestyle they once flaunted.Social media influencers and brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate must spend at least two more weeks in a United States federal jail in Miami, where their lawyer says they have a “target on their backs”, as they await a decision on whether they will be granted bail while fighting extradition to the UK, where they face a combined total of 59 criminal charges including rape and sex trafficking.On Monday, magistrate Lauren Louis set a hearing for August 13 to decide whether to release the Tates from prison, while UK authorities compile evidence and submit their extradition request.Recommended Stories list of 3 itemslist 1 of 3Why were Andrew and Tristan Tate arrested?

In a post on Sunday, Andrew said he had no access to clean drinking water, arguing that his human rights were being violated.“I am in Special Housing Unit (SHU). My water faucet is broken,” Andrew said.“I am not allowed bottles of water in SHU. I have nothing clean to drink. My only water comes from the shower, warm and from a brown and filthy faucet. It has given me persistent stomach problems. The water I am drinking is not clean, I am an American. Innocent until proven guilty. But I am forced to drink poisoned water. Where are my rights?”The brothers’ current predicament is a far cry from the alpha-male lifestyle they used to flaunt on social media, where they created an image built around conspicuous wealth – dozens of flashy sports cars, ultra-expensive watches and regular travel on private jets – and self-proclaimed misogyny.
