Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested in Miami, Florida, after the United States Marshals Service executed a sealed warrant linked to an extradition request from the United Kingdom.

The brothers, who hold dual British and American citizenship, are wanted by UK authorities as prosecutors prepare to bring a fresh series of criminal charges against them.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced that Andrew Tate, 39, will face seven counts of rape, three counts of sex trafficking, three counts of assault, as well as 19 additional charges relating to alleged indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.

His younger brother, Tristan Tate, 38, has been charged with two counts of rape, one count of sexual assault and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.

The latest allegations come in addition to an existing UK prosecution in which the brothers are already facing a combined 21 charges, including rape, human trafficking and actual bodily harm relating to three alleged victims.

The UK government is now seeking to extradite both men from the United States so they can stand trial in Britain.

The Tate brothers have consistently denied all allegations against them.

Responding to the latest developments, their lawyer, Joseph McBride, said he believes both men will ultimately be cleared.

"We are confident that once a competent judge sees the facts, and once the Department of Justice confronts this egregious abuse of its own authority, Andrew and Tristan Tate will walk free," he said.

The extradition process is expected to begin in the coming weeks, with US courts set to determine whether the brothers will be transferred to the UK to face the charges.
