Andrew Tate, 39, and his brother Tristan Tate, 38, were arrested in Miami on Saturday, July 18, 2026, in connection with a series of sexual offences. The arrests follow an investigation by Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, which has authorised 38 new charges against the brothers, bringing the total number of charges to 59.
Charges and Allegations
Of the 59 charges, 42 have been authorised against Andrew Tate and 17 against Tristan Tate. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has prosecuted the brothers for further offences including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, and offences relating to indecent images of a child. The alleged offending took place between July 2010 and August 2017.
According to the CPS, the total number of alleged victims in the case is now seven. The charges were previously authorised by the CPS after a file of evidence was submitted by Bedfordshire Police into allegations dating back to 2012.
Extradition Proceedings
The CPS has requested the extradition of Andrew and Tristan Tate from the United States. Malcolm McHaffie, head of the CPS’s Special Crime Division, stated: “We have decided to prosecute Andrew and Tristan Tate for further offences including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and offences relating to indecent images of a child. 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.” He added: “The CPS has requested the extradition of the Tates from the US. They have been arrested and await extradition proceedings to the UK.”
Police Statement
Assistant Chief Constable Karena Thomas said: “Officers from our major crime unit have been working closely alongside the Crown Prosecution Service and both national and international law enforcement agencies as part of this complex investigation. We understand the interest that this case will generate, but we would urge the public not to speculate and to allow the legal process to be carried out correctly. There is no place for male violence against women and girls, and we will continue to work tirelessly to support victims and investigate all reports made to us.”
The brothers remain in custody in Miami pending extradition hearings.
