US prosecutors want Tate brothers to remain in custody as they fight extradition to the UK
Prosecutors say the brothers are a flight risk and a danger to the public as they fight rape and sex trafficking allegations in Britain.
Prosecutors in Miami filed a response Monday arguing that social media influencers Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate should remain in federal custody while fighting extradition to the United Kingdom, citing a heightened risk of flight and public safety concerns.
New evidence from Bedfordshire police led to serious pending charges in Britain involving human trafficking and violent rapes against multiple victims, while a separate case in Romania remains stalled due to ongoing procedural problems.
Attorneys filed a motion Friday arguing the brothers' high profile makes flight nearly impossible and that they have complied with all pretrial restrictions during previous legal proceedings in Romania.
A detention hearing scheduled for Thursday in Miami will determine whether the Tates remain jailed or are released during what could be a monthslong international extradition process.
While the Tates have amassed over 10 million followers and are vocal supporters of President Donald Trump, The White House stated the brothers should not expect any presidential assistance regarding their legal situation.
