Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested in Miami by the US Marshals Service, as the Crown Prosecution Service confirmed 38 new charges against the pair, bringing the total number of charges they face in the UK to 59.
Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Miami, Florida, on July 18, 2026, by the US Marshals Service, according to multiple breaking reports. The brothers were detained outside the James L. Knight Center in downtown Miami shortly before Andrew Tate had been due to co-host a bare-knuckle boxing event. The US charges against them have not yet been made public, with the arrest warrant remaining under seal. The arrest came as the Crown Prosecution Service confirmed it had authorised further charges against the pair in relation to four additional alleged victims in the UK, bringing the total number of alleged victims in the case to seven.
Scale of the UK charges
The CPS said 38 new charges have now been authorised against Andrew and Tristan Tate, bringing the total number of charges they face to 59. Of these, 42 charges have been authorised against Andrew Tate and 17 against Tristan Tate. Charges had previously been authorised by the CPS following a file of evidence submitted by Bedfordshire Police officers relating to allegations dating back to 2012.
Andrew Tate, 39, faces seven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and 19 additional charges relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. Tristan Tate, 38, faces one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape, and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation. The alleged offending is said to have taken place between July 2010 and August 2017.
Malcolm McHaffie, Head of the Special Crime Division at the CPS, said the latest charging decisions followed the receipt of a further file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police. “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,” McHaffie said.
Ongoing police investigation
The Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit has continued to investigate a number of other offences reported to both Bedfordshire Police and Hertfordshire Constabulary, which led to the latest set of charges being authorised.
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.”
Extradition proceedings sought
The CPS confirmed it has requested the extradition of the Tate brothers from the United States in relation to both the original 21 charges and the newly authorised further charges. “The CPS has requested the extradition of the Tates from the US. They have been arrested and await extradition proceedings to the UK,” McHaffie said.
Background to the case
The brothers continue to face separate, ongoing criminal proceedings in Romania, where they deny allegations including human trafficking. They are also wanted in the UK in connection with the earlier set of allegations, which they likewise deny. Florida authorities had separately opened a criminal investigation into the brothers after they arrived in the state in 2025.
CPS reminder over active proceedings
McHaffie stressed that the criminal proceedings against the Tate brothers remain active and that the defendants retain the right to a fair trial. “It is extremely important that there be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings,” he said.
