United States: masculinist influencer Andrew Tate and his brother arrested at the request of London

New arrest of the Tate brothers, this time in the United States. American-British masculinist influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested on Saturday July 18 in Miami, at the request of the United Kingdom, which is demanding their extradition for alleged rape.

Requested by AFP, the US Marshals, an American federal police service responsible for tracking down fugitives and executing court decisions, confirmed information from the media TMZ, which published a video of the arrest. They declined to describe the motive, as the arrest warrant was sealed.

However, the British prosecutor’s office announced at the same time, in a press release, that the arrest of the two brothers had taken place at the request of the United Kingdom, which is seeking a total of 59 charges (42 for Andrew and 17 for Tristan), including rape, assault and other sexual and child criminal offenses.

The Tate brothers’ lawyer, Joseph McBride, said in a statement that his clients “are innocent”, called their testimony a “political stunt” and expressed confidence that they would be released soon.
