Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested in the United States as British prosecutors pursue their extradition, according to the BBC. The latest development comes after the Crown Prosecution Service said it had formally requested that the brothers be sent to the UK.
The case has expanded significantly with 38 additional charges authorised against the pair. That takes the combined total number of charges they face in the UK to 59.
According to the figures cited, Andrew Tate, 39, now faces 42 charges in the UK, while Tristan Tate, 37, faces 17. The report did not detail the full breakdown of the newly authorised counts in the trimmed account.
The brothers deny wrongdoing, with their lawyer saying they are innocent. The focus now is likely to turn to the extradition process and how the US and UK legal systems handle the request.
