Andrew and Tristan Tate's falling empire – 59 charges, Miami jail and UK extradition fight

This episode of 'The Indo Daily' contains references to rape and sexual assault, and may not be suitable for everyone, so please take care when listening

Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, like to talk about male empowerment and freedom, yet both are currently shackled away from the outside world.

Arrested last weekend by US authorities, the pair are unlikely to find that the confines of a Miami jail cell measure up to the lavish lifestyle they routinely flaunt online – but that’s their home for now.

The reason? A volley of 38 new charges, including rape and sex trafficking, courtesy of the Crown Prosecution Service in the UK, with an extradition attempt to follow. The brothers now face a total of 59 charges, all of which they deny.

So, where to now for Andrew and Tristan Tate?

On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Isabella Kwai, reporter with the New York Times, to break down the complexities of the criminal investigation into the Tate brothers – and to question what made them such prominent public figures in the first place.
