Tate brothers challenge UK extradition in Miami court amid rape and trafficking charges

Andrew Tate faces 42 charges (rape, human trafficking, indecent images, assault) and his brother Tristan Tate faces 17 charges (rape, sexual assault, trafficking) in the UK, prompting a UK extradition request. In Miami, the duo appeared in federal court to contest the extradition; they were arrested by U.S. Marshals en route to a boxing event and remain in custody as extradition proceedings proceed, with a next hearing scheduled and the final decision resting with the secretary of state (per the report, Marco Rubio). The extradition process can take months, and the brothers deny all allegations while facing related cases in the UK and Romania.
