Social media personalities Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate have been arrested in Miami, Florida, following a formal extradition request from the United Kingdom over new criminal charges.
The US Marshals Service confirmed the arrests on Saturday, while British prosecutors announced they would seek the brothers’ extradition to face additional allegations.
According to the UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the new charges include allegations of rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, and offences involving indecent images of a child.
New allegations involve additional complainants
The CPS said the latest charges relate to alleged incidents that occurred between 2010 and 2017.
Officials stated that the new evidence, provided by Bedfordshire Police, involves four additional alleged victims, bringing the total number of complainants in the case to seven.
Malcolm McHaffie, head of the CPS Special Crime Division, said the additional charges were authorised after prosecutors reviewed a new file of evidence submitted by investigators.
He also reminded the public that the criminal proceedings are active and that the defendants are entitled to a fair trial.
Brothers deny wrongdoing
Andrew and Tristan Tate have denied all allegations against them.
Their attorney, Joseph McBride, criticised the latest case, describing it as politically motivated and accusing authorities of attempting to interfere with the brothers’ legal efforts in the United States.
McBride said he was confident the brothers would ultimately be cleared, arguing that the evidence does not support the allegations.

Extradition process begins
The arrests mark the latest development in a series of legal proceedings involving the Tate brothers in multiple jurisdictions.
British prosecutors will now seek their extradition from the United States so they can face the newly authorised charges in the UK.
The extradition request will be considered through the US legal process, and no timeline has yet been announced for any potential transfer.
The brothers remain in US custody as the legal proceedings continue.
