Tate brothers ordered to stay jailed as UK pushes for extradition
UK prosecutors have formally requested extradition of Andrew and Tristan Tate from the US to face rape and sex trafficking charges.
The Tate brothers are held in Miami. A US judge ruled they posed a flight risk and must stay jailed during extradition.
UK authorities lodged a formal request with the US State Department last week. Andrew Tate, 39, faces ten rape charges, three trafficking charges, three assault charges, and accusations of making and sharing child images.
Tristan Tate, 38, faces five rape charges, six assault charges, three sex trafficking charges and one sexual assault charge. The brothers' lawyer has challenged the request, saying authorities failed to provide supporting documents.
Once this process has been completed, the applications will be sent to the US Justice Department and then to court for a final decision.
