Influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Miami on Saturday after British authorities requested their extradition over multiple allegations of rape, human trafficking and other sexual offenses.

The U.S. Marshals Service confirmed that the brothers were taken into custody under a sealed warrant. They are expected to appear before a federal court in Miami, where a judge will begin reviewing the United Kingdom’s extradition request.

British prosecutors allege that the offenses occurred between 2010 and 2017, primarily in Bedfordshire, north of London, where the brothers grew up. Both men hold British and American citizenship.

According to the Crown Prosecution Service, Andrew and Tristan Tate are each accused of rape and human trafficking. Andrew Tate also faces an allegation of financially benefiting from prostitution, as well as several charges involving indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.

The latest accusations reportedly involve four additional alleged victims and are separate from charges previously announced in 2025 concerning three women.

The Tate brothers have denied all allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking. Their legal representatives have described the accusations as politically motivated and have argued that the British extradition effort is intended to damage ongoing lawsuits filed by the brothers in the United States.

Andrew Tate, 39, became widely known after appearing on the British reality program “Big Brother” in 2016. He later built a massive online following by promoting messages about wealth, masculinity and male authority.

His content has also generated widespread criticism for statements considered misogynistic and for comments about sexual violence and mental health. Several major social media platforms previously suspended or banned his accounts for violating policies on hate speech and harmful content.

Tristan Tate, 38, has frequently appeared alongside his brother in online videos and business promotions.

The brothers moved to Romania in 2016 and were arrested there in 2022 as part of a separate investigation into allegations that women had been recruited and exploited for online sexual content. They denied those accusations as well.

Romanian authorities later permitted them to leave the country, and the brothers traveled to Florida aboard a private aircraft.

Their arrest in Miami marks a new stage in a complex international legal case involving authorities in Romania, Britain and the United States. A U.S. federal court will now determine whether the legal requirements for extradition to the United Kingdom have been met.

The allegations remain unproven, and both brothers are presumed innocent unless convicted in court.
