Andrew and Tristan Tate, dual British-US citizens, appeared in a Miami federal court to begin extradition proceedings to the UK. They face a total of 59 charges, including 38 new charges of rape, sex trafficking, and child exploitation related to alleged offenses between 2010 and 2017. The brothers previously moved to Florida in 2025 after Romanian authorities lifted a travel ban, though they still face human trafficking charges in Romania. Their lawyer, Joseph McBride, denies the allegations, calling the case a 'stitch up job' and 'political kidnapping.'
