They shouldn’t be extradited for crimes they did not commit,” lawyer Joseph McBride said.“It’s politically motivated. There’s no question about it,” he told reporters outside a Miami court following a hearing on the case.McBride said their arrest came days after the brothers traveled to Washington to meet with members of Congress.“They walked the grounds of the Capitol, and three days later, they’re in the jumpsuit. You do the math,” he said.Andrew Tate is one of the most prominent proponents of the so-called “manosphere” network of communities, many of them online, that focus on traditional masculinity, anti-feminism, and self-improvement.He promotes his divisive views, often incorporating alpha-male and aggressively misogynistic themes, to millions on social media including 10.8 million followers on X.In Romania, where they have been based in recent years, the Tates face allegations of trafficking minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering.In March 2025, the U.S. state of Florida launched a criminal investigation against the brothers.
