The brothers face a new wave of charges for rape, sexual exploitation and other serious offences. According to Sky News, the two influencers were arrested on Saturday by the US Marshals Service, executing a sealed warrant issued at the request of the United Kingdom.
New allegations from additional alleged victims
The UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced that it has brought new charges after the police investigation identified four more alleged victims. With the latest developments, the total number of alleged victims now stands at seven.
Andrew Tate is charged with seven additional counts of rape, three counts of human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation, three counts of causing bodily harm, and 19 further offences relating to indecent material involving minors and extreme pornography.
His 38-year-old brother Tristan faces one charge of sexual assault, two charges of rape and three charges of human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation.

The 38 new charges are added to the 21 already brought and concern alleged offences said to have been committed between July 2010 and August 2017. The previous charges related to three other alleged victims and concerned incidents from the 2012 to 2016 period.
The basis of the new prosecutions
The head of the CPS Serious Crime Division, Malcolm McHaffie, said the new prosecutions were based on additional evidence submitted by Bedfordshire Police, which continues to work with the prosecuting authorities and international law enforcement agencies as part of the long-running investigation.
For her part, Bedfordshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Karena Thomas called on the public not to speculate while the judicial process is under way, underlining that "there is no place for male violence against women and girls".
The brothers deny all charges
The Tate brothers deny all the charges. Their lawyer, Joseph McBride, maintained that his clients are innocent and claimed the new prosecutions are retaliation for defamation lawsuits they have filed in the United States.
He also expressed certainty that an American court will not permit their extradition, arguing that "the US does not do Britain's dirty political work".
