WASHINGTON, July 19 — Radical social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested yesterday in Miami, the US Marshals Service told AFP, as Britain seeks their extradition to face new charges of rape, sex trafficking and assault.

Marshals confirmed the arrest of 39-year-old Andrew Tate, a self-professed misogynist, and his younger brother, but said that because the arrest warrant was sealed, “we are not able to disclose the charges.”

US news outlet TMZ posted video of law enforcement officers placing the men in handcuffs and escorting them into waiting vehicles. Asked by an onlooker if he had something to say, Tristan Tate did not respond, the footage posted on X showed.

The UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said in a statement that the Tates, who face charges in Britain, were arrested by US marshals.

UK prosecutors will be seeking the brothers’ extradition.

“We have decided to prosecute Andrew and Tristan Tate for further offences including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and offences relating to indecent images of a child,” Malcolm McHaffie, head of CPS’s Special Crime Division, said in the statement.

“The CPS has requested the extradition of the Tates from the US,” he said, adding that the latest charges stem from receipt of new evidence from Bedfordshire Police that bring the total number of alleged victims in the Tates case to seven.
