Tate brothers seek Miami bail as UK extradition case advances
What’s next: Britain has until Sept. 16 to submit its full request, and the extradition fight could take months.
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate are due in federal court in Miami on Thursday to seek release on bond while they fight extradition to Britain. The brothers, arrested July 18, have remained at the Federal Detention Center in Miami as Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis considers whether they should stay jailed during the case. British authorities want them returned to face charges including rape, assault and trafficking for sexual exploitation, which they deny. Prosecutors argue bail is rarely granted in international extradition cases and say the brothers pose both a flight risk and a danger. Defense lawyers counter that their public profiles, proposed passport surrender and location monitoring would make flight impractical.
