Tate brothers arrested in US in connection b with UK inquiry

“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.”

Joseph McBride, a lawyer for the brothers, described the new charges as “filth and slander” designed to counter defamation charges filed by the Tate brothers in the US.

He told the Associated Press: “They’re pulling out all the stops to make sure these guys never get their day in court.

“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.”

The brothers are facing legal proceedings in Romania, where they currently live, and were facing extradition to the UK upon their completion after Bedfordshire Police secured European arrest warrants for the pair in 2024.

The pair have previously “unequivocally” denied wrongdoing, with Andrew Tate describing himself and his brother as “very innocent men”.
