The Tate brothers arrested by US Marshals on UK extradition request over rape charges

US Marshals arrested social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate in Miami Saturday on an extradition request from the United Kingdom following an investigation into sexual offenses reported by seven victims, according to the UK Crown Prosecution Service.

Andrew Tate, an influencer with billions of views online, faces 42 charges, including rape, human trafficking, indecent images of a child and assault, according to the UK Crown Prosecution Service and Bedfordshire Police. Tristan Tate faces 17 charges, including sexual assault, rape and trafficking.

“Officers from our major crime unit have been working closely alongside the Crown Prosecution Service and both national and international law enforcement agencies as part of this complex investigation,” Bedfordshire Assistant Chief Constable Karena Thomas said.

The brothers will appear in federal court in Miami next week, a law enforcement source said.

The Department of Justice confirmed US Marshals arrested Andrew and Tristan Tate “pursuant to extradition proceedings,” adding the arrests “were made in accordance with the treaties and law enforcement agreements governing Justice Department extraditions.”

An attorney for the brothers said they are innocent and criticized the UK’s move to seek extradition.

“There is a long-standing agreement between the UK and Romanian governments that the UK would not seek extradition while the Romanian proceedings are pending,” Joseph McBride said. “Those proceedings are ongoing right now. That agreement exists because no nation gets to trample the judicial sovereignty of another for political convenience.”

Andrew Tate, a self-proclaimed misogynist, is known for his rants about male dominance, female submission and wealth. At one point, he was suspended from all major social media platforms.

Officials had investigated reports in the East England areas of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, police said.

Romanian prosecutors previously accused the brothers of trafficking women across Romania, the United Kingdom and the US and sexually exploiting them.

UK has been after these two for years. They don’t like the influence they have on young white males. UK wants young white guys to be eunuchs and be more feminine.

Since when does UK care about rape? They have no trouble with grooming gangs and migrants raping their women on a daily basis?

This is how we know it is political. I have no affection for the Tates, but they sure rile up the WEF types. LOL

Only if the victims are white and the perpetrators are moslems.

I saw a video where Andrew Tate admits that much of his money was acquired through being a pimp. He would turn out a woman and use her to get other women and turn them out. He admitted in the video to making about $10 million this way.

Britain has been building their case for a very long time, so I would be surprised if they get out of this.

And why are there no womb-men US agents in the mix, being this military assault type arrest was by order of the matriarchy? Are womb-men still mostly stupid helpless victims, or authoritative boss women with butch baby-talk vocal fry voices that can toss around 5 men?

This is so ridiculously overdue. These two douchebags should be put away for a long time.

The Tates are probably guilty of something. That said.....this is not why they are getting arrested and extradited to the UK.

The UK is a conquered country. The government is happy with the status quo. The proles have been asleep the whole time. Can't have somebody "influential" who might wake them up.

‘Tristan’. Reminds me of the nickname given to Dorian in the 1945 movie, The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Nice guys.

I have to say it. I believe we may all someday be considered “guilty of something” if the overlords get their way. That is a poor excuse to do high fives they are being extradited. They UK is no longer a country with a very honest moral standard. They have no problem dumping people in prison for political reasons there anymore.

I hope this is really not what is happening here. I would not be surprised they get put behind bars again for a very long time based on charges that are horribly weak and questionable as they were in Romania. If the charges there had been legit, they would not be free now. But they were not.
