社交媒体网红安德鲁·塔特和特里斯坦·塔特的辩护律师周五在迈阿密联邦法院提交动议,要求两人在争取对英国引渡的过程中获得保释[1]。兄弟俩被控在英国犯有强奸和性贩运罪[1]。法官将在下周决定兄弟俩是否继续被羁押或在可能需要数月的引渡程序期间获得释放[1]。
两人自2024年7月18日被捕后一直被关押在迈阿密联邦拘留中心[1]。英国必须在9月中旬之前向国务院提交引渡证据支持[1],检察官也必须在周一前对保释动议提出回应[1]。
兄弟俩已在英国受到涉及三名指控人的强奸、身体伤害、人口贩运和卖淫罪指控,涉及2012年至2015年期间的事件[1]。此外还有新增指控涉及四名指控人,罪名包括强奸、殴打、贩运以及涉及儿童不雅图像和极端色情内容的违法行为,涉及2010年至2017年期间的事件[1]。
两人于2016年移居罗马尼亚,2022年在该国被捕后指控参与诱骗妇女进行性剥削计划[1]。辩护律师称兄弟俩在罗马尼亚三年期间遵守了所有审前限制,证明他们不构成逃亡风险[1]。
Lawyers for social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate filed a motion in Miami federal court on Friday requesting their release on bail as the brothers contest extradition proceedings to the United Kingdom [1]. The Tate brothers, who have been held at the Miami federal detention center since their arrest on July 18, 2024, face allegations of rape and sex trafficking in the UK [1].
The brothers are accused of crimes involving three complainants that allegedly occurred between 2012 and 2015 [1]. Additional charges have emerged involving four new complainants, with allegations spanning from 2010 to 2017 and including rape, assault, trafficking, and offenses related to child sexual abuse material and extreme pornography [1]. Defense attorneys argue the brothers pose no flight risk, citing their compliance with all pretrial restrictions during three years in Romania before their 2022 arrest there on charges related to schemes to sexually exploit women [1]. A federal judge is expected to rule next week on whether the Tate brothers should remain incarcerated or be released during the extradition process, which could take several months [1]. The United Kingdom must submit evidence supporting the extradition request to the State Department by mid-September, while prosecutors must respond to the bail motion by Monday [1].
