Social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, have been arrested in Miami, Florida, as United Kingdom authorities seek their extradition over fresh allegations of rape, sex trafficking and assault.

However, the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service, CPS, announced that Andrew Tate is facing seven additional counts of rape, along with charges related to sex trafficking and possession of indecent images of a child.

According to Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Police, the brothers now face a combined total of 59 criminal charges.

UK prosecutors said extradition proceedings will now begin to bring the dual British-American citizens back to Britain to face trial.

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

As a result, 38 new charges were authorised against the brothers, meaning Andrew, 39, faces a total of 42 charges in the UK and Tristan, 37, faces 17.

In 2024, Bedfordshire Police obtained European arrest warrants for Andrew and Tristan Tate, seeking their return from Romania, where they have been living and are separately under criminal investigation.

In June, the brothers failed in their attempt to compel authorities to reveal the identities of their UK accusers after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) ruled that the names of the alleged victims would remain confidential until formal legal proceedings commenced.
