# Tate brothers face UK extradition request amid US detention > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/andrew-tate-legal-case-in-romania > Updated: 2026-09-17T02:19:59.000Z. Sources: 675. Developments: 26. Romanian prosecutors from the anti-organized crime agency DIICOT have indicted Andrew and Tristan Tate, alleging they recruited victims through false promises of romance to coerce them into producing sexually exploitative content. Specifically, prosecutors allege Andrew Tate recruited a 15-year-old girl in 2012, generating approximately $1.25 million in revenue. The brothers face additional charges in Romania for money laundering and influencing witness statements. In the United States, the brothers have been held in pretrial detention at the Federal Detention Center in Miami since July 18, 2026. US Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis denied bail, ruling the Tates constitute a “quintessential flight risk” due to their significant financial resources and history of international travel. Detainees at the facility have described the environment as “hellish” due to overcrowding and unsanitary hygiene conditions. Following the September 16 deadline, the United Kingdom has formally requested the extradition of the brothers from the United States. UK prosecutors are seeking extradition to address a total of 59 criminal charges spanning from 2010 to 2017, including rape, sex trafficking, physical assault, and possession of indecent images of children. The US Department of State is currently reviewing the request for treaty compliance; if approved, the matter will proceed to the US Department of Justice and the court system. The brothers, who hold dual US-UK citizenship, deny all allegations through legal counsel, claiming they are victims of ‘political persecution’. Defense attorney Joe McBride has announced plans to challenge the extradition, arguing that British authorities failed to provide essential legal documentation, such as warrants and charging documents, required under the extradition agreement. ## Claims - A federal judge postponed the bail hearing for the Tate brothers to August 27.
