US marshals took Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan into custody on Saturday in Miami, following a sustained extradition push by British authorities that has been building for months.

The brothers face 59 charges in the United Kingdom spanning rape, sex trafficking, assault, tax evasion and money laundering. UK prosecutors have argued the pair should stand trial on home soil to answer the allegations in full.

The arrest marks a significant escalation in the long-running legal saga surrounding the Tates, who have previously fought extradition attempts from Romania as well. Their legal teams are expected to contest the UK's extradition request in US courts.
