Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, whose social media empire promoting wealth, male dominance and misogyny has made them among the world’s most polarising internet personalities, were arrested in Miami on Saturday as British authorities sought their extradition on charges of rape and sex trafficking.
The brothers were taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service under a sealed arrest warrant, agency spokesperson Brady McCarron told the Associated Press, putting the United States at the heart of an international legal saga stretching from Romania to the United Kingdom.
