Tate brothers’ lawyers and prosecutors to set schedule for UK extradition fight
Attorneys for social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will meet with federal prosecutors in Miami to establish a schedule for their extradition fight to the United Kingdom. The brothers face charges of rape and sex trafficking in the UK, and their legal teams will work with prosecutors to set dates for bond hearings, filings, and the formal extradition hearing. The Tates, who have dual U.S. and U.K. citizenship, were arrested on July 18th and are currently in federal detention. Their attorney maintains their innocence and claims the extradition is politically motivated. New allegations in Britain involve four accusers and span from 2010 to 2017, including rape, assault, and trafficking. This follows previous charges in the UK related to three other accusers between 2012 and 2015. The White House has stated it will not intervene in the extradition process.
