Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan appeared in a Miami federal courtroom as extradition proceedings to the UK began. They face new charges, including rape and sex trafficking, brought by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in England and Wales. The brothers, who have been in a Florida jail since their arrest, deny any wrongdoing. Their lawyer, Joe McBride, claims the charges are unfounded and likened the situation to a “witch hunt.” The Tates, dual British-US citizens, have been in the US since 2025 after leaving Romania, where they face similar accusations. The CPS has announced 38 new charges, bringing the total to 59, with allegations dating from 2010 to 2017. The brothers also face a civil case in the US and are required to check in with Romanian authorities as their case progresses. The next court hearing is set for 27 July, and the extradition decision will ultimately be made by the Trump administration.
