Summary
Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain jailed in Miami while they fight extradition to Britain over allegations of rape, assault and sex trafficking.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis issued the ruling Wednesday after an hours-long Aug. 27 hearing on the brothers’ request for release pending extradition.
A 30-page order found the brothers posed a flight risk, citing an “exceptional capacity to flee,” no ties to Miami, and family connections in Dubai and Romania.
The dual U.S.-British citizens were arrested in Miami on July 18 and deny the allegations as the extradition case moves forward.
