Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested Saturday in Miami, Florida, as British prosecutors announced new charges against the brothers and sought their extradition.
“Today, U.S. Marshals in the Southern District of Florida arrested Andrew and Tristan Tate pursuant to extradition proceedings,” a Justice Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
“These arrests were made in accordance with the treaties and law enforcement agreements governing Justice Department extraditions,” the spokesperson added.

Fox News shared further:
Joseph McBride, an attorney representing the Tate brothers, said in a phone interview that the charges from the United Kingdom are “filth and slander.”
According to the Associated Press, McBride said it’s meant to “derail defamation lawsuits filed by the brothers in the U.S.”
“They’re pulling out all the stops to make sure these guys never get their day in court,” McBride said, according to the outlet.
“We are confident that once a competent judge sees the facts, and once the Department of Justice confronts this egregious abuse of its own authority, Andrew and Tristan Tate will walk free. America does not do Britain’s political dirty work,” McBride added.
