Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested by federal authorities Saturday in Miami, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. The warrant was sealed and charges were not immediately announced, Brady McCarron, a spokesperson for the Marshals Service, said.
The brothers were arrested on an extradition request from the United Kingdom, where they face rape and human trafficking charges, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Andrew and Tristan Tate are dual U.S. and British citizens who moved to Romania in 2016. They were arrested there in 2022 on accusations of participating in schemes to lure women for sexual exploitation. They denied those allegations and the case did not proceed because of legal and procedural irregularities.
The brothers have amassed millions of social media followers by promoting hypermasculinity and a lifestyle of luxury. They are former professional kickboxers who have drawn a following particularly among young men and boys.
