Tate Brothers Fight Extradition to Britain from the United States, Claim Charges Are 'Political'
MIAMI (AP) – Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will fight extradition to the United Kingdom, where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking, their lawyer said Monday, suggesting their arrest in Miami was politically motivated without explaining why. Attorney Joseph McBride: “We are of course objecting to extradition because Andrew and Tristan are innocent.” McBride claimed the extradition attempt was “politically motivated,” suggesting the case “had a lot to do with” former PM Keir Starmer's resignation, and noted the brothers were arrested after meeting “friends in Washington, D.C.”
