Tate brothers to remain in US jail for two more weeks amid UK extradition fight
Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will stay in a Miami prison until at least August 13, when a detention hearing will determine if they remain jailed during extradition proceedings to the UK, where they face rape and sex trafficking accusations. US Magistrate Lauren Louis set the hearing date on Monday; the brothers were not required to appear. They have been held since their July 18 arrest. The Tates, known for promoting wealth and misogyny online, deny all wrongdoing. Their lawyers are demanding documents from UK authorities that led to the arrest. The case adds to a legal saga spanning the US, UK, and Romania.
