Tate brothers appear in US federal court to begin extradition hearings

Malcolm McHaffie, Head of the Special Crime Division at the CPS, said the charges “followed receipt of a further file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police” that brings the total number of alleged victims in this case to seven.

The brothers now face a total of 59 charges, police said. They were arrested on Saturday nearby a venue where Andrew Tate was due to co-host a bare-knuckle fighting event.

They also face charges in Romania, accused of human trafficking and forming an organised group to sexually exploit women. Andrew Tate has also been accused of rape in that case. They deny those allegations.

The pair, dual British-US citizens, have been in the US since 2025, after Romanian prosecutors lifted a travel ban against them. The two are still required to check in with Romanian authorities as the case winds through procedural hurdles.

In the US they also face a civil case from a woman who alleges the brothers coerced her into sex work, and then defamed her after she gave evidence to Romanian authorities.

Andrew Tate is a self-proclaimed “misogynist” who reached viral acclaim on social media platforms for his portrayals of extreme wealth and hyper-masculinity.

He was banned from social media after making controversial remarks about women needing to “bear responsibility” for being sexually assaulted but was later reinstated.
