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.

Are they paying the U. S for this? With our tax payer dime?
Looks like a pretty decked out arrest vehicle.

They do it, let them pay for it.

The UK is no longer a country with a very honest moral standard.

Don't forget that Tommy Robinson is a soccer hooligan and because he is a criminal according to the state so he wasn't afraid to speak out. And for that, they kept arresting him.

The Tates committed the sin of exposing that those who flew across international borders on private jets weren't required to get the Jim Jones Jab during the COVID-1984 lockdowns.

How dare they expose the Pfascism "Rules for thee but not for thee"?

Watch Andrew Tate and you’ll become an evil male, white, 12 year old knife murderer. Honestly, Keir Starmer said so himself.

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.

The Tate brothers were fortunate an honest judge in Rumania dismissed the indictments against them due to the prosecutors' "legal and procedural irregularities." The term "irregularities" from a judge normally means someone has been lying. I don't think they'll be as lucky for their double jeopardy trial in the UK.

I believe it's more likely they committed no real crimes, other than the political crimes of being dangerous influencers.

It’s all about money and power. It’s always all about money and power. Why do I think there will be evidence other than actual accusations - kinda like that woman that sued Trump.
