争议性网红安德鲁·泰特(Andrew Tate)及其兄弟崔斯坦·泰特(Tristan Tate)在美国被捕,随后面临被引渡回英国受审的法律程序 [1]。此前,英国皇家检察署(CPS)对两人追加了38项新指控,使针对他们的总指控数达到59项 [1]。
根据检方披露的信息,安德鲁面临42项指控,崔斯坦面临17项指控 [1]。这些涉嫌犯罪行为发生在2010年7月至2017年8月期间 [1]。英国皇家检察署特别犯罪部门主管马尔科姆·麦克黑菲(Malcolm McHaffie)表示,本案共有7名受害者 [1]。
泰特兄弟目前在美国迈阿密联邦法院等待法官对引渡申请的裁决,下一次听证会定于7月27日举行 [2]。两人被关押在联邦拘留中心,其律师约瑟夫·麦克布赖德(Joseph McBride)已宣布将反对将他们引渡至英国 [2]。麦克布赖德称,针对兄弟俩的指控包括强奸、性剥削、虐待及儿童色情相关罪名,涉及多名受害者 [2]。
对于英国的指控,麦克布赖德将其描述为“政治陷害”,旨在反击泰特兄弟在美国提起的诽谤诉讼 [1]。他明确表示:“安德鲁和崔斯坦是无辜的……他们不应该因未犯下的罪行被引渡” [2]。
Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in the United States following the addition of 38 new charges by British authorities, bringing their total number of allegations to 59 [1]. The controversial influencers are currently held at a federal detention center in Miami while awaiting a judge's decision on their extradition to the UK [2].
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has charged Andrew Tate with 42 counts and Tristan Tate with 17 counts, covering alleged offenses committed between July 2010 and August 2017 [1]. Malcolm McHaffie, head of the CPS Special Crime Division, stated that there are seven alleged victims in the case [1]. The charges include rape, sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, abuse, and offenses related to child pornography involving multiple victims [2].
Prosecutors intend to initiate legal proceedings to extradite the brothers, who hold dual UK-US citizenship, back to Britain for trial [1]. However, their lawyer, Joseph McBride, announced that they will fight the extradition at the US Federal Court in Miami [2]. McBride described the new allegations as a "political setup" designed to retaliate against the brothers' defamation lawsuits filed in the United States [1]. He asserted that Andrew and Tristan are innocent and should not be extradited for crimes they did not commit [2]. The next hearing regarding their extradition is scheduled for July 27 [2].
