The British authorities have authorized charges of rape, human trafficking and assault against the online influencer Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, the Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement on Wednesday. The charges were authorized in January 2024, prompting the release of European Arrest Warrants for the Tate brothers, but they were not publicly confirmed by the service until Wednesday. The service said a total of 21 charges had been authorized against the brothers, who were born in the United States and hold dual British and American citizenship. The statement also said they would be extradited to the United Kingdom after the conclusion of separate criminal proceedings in Romania. Charges can be lodged against suspects only when they are physically in Britain.
