The U.S. Marshals Service arrested Andrew and Tristan Tate, social media personalities known for promoting their views on masculinity and wealth, on Saturday. The brothers, who have dual U.S. and British citizenship, face extradition to the UK on charges of rape, bodily harm, and human trafficking.
Background
The Tate brothers have built a large online following, with Andrew Tate previously describing himself as a misogynist. The UK’s Crown Prosecution Service announced that it would seek extradition of the brothers to face charges relating to alleged offenses between July 2010 and August 2017.
The arrests mark a new chapter in the widening legal troubles for the brothers, who already face criminal proceedings in Romania. The brothers have denied any wrongdoing, with Andrew Tate due to face trial in Britain this year in a civil case brought by four women for alleged physical and sexual abuse.
