Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain in custody in Miami after a U.S. judge on Thursday declined to rule on their request for bail. The decision means the controversial influencers will stay in authorities' care until a final ruling is made in their case.
Both brothers appeared at the hearing and pleaded not guilty to the charges they face. Their legal team argued that their high public profiles make them unlikely to flee if released, and that they are unable to mount a proper defense while incarcerated. However, prosecutors countered these claims, characterizing the Tates as "liars" who consistently exaggerate and possess significant financial resources and multiple passports, suggesting a flight risk.
The Tate brothers were arrested in Miami on July 18, following an extradition request from the United Kingdom. In the UK, they face a total of 21 charges. The legal process to determine their extradition could take several months, according to reports.
