Defense attorneys say Tate brothers should remain free in the US as they fight extradition to the UK
Attorneys for social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate argue that the brothers’ high-profile, public lives and other factors constitute special circumstances for their release. They are fighting extradition to the United Kingdom, where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking. The defense attorneys filed a motion for release Friday in Miami federal court. A detention hearing next Thursday will determine whether the Tates should stay in jail or be released during what could be a monthslong extradition process. The Tates have been in federal custody in Miami since their July 18 arrest. The brothers have repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
