00:00Thirty-eight new charges in total have now been authorised against Andrew and Tristan Tate,
00:05bringing the total number of charges faced to 59.
00:09The charges relate to seven victims spanning a period from 2010 to 2017.
00:17Our officers have worked closely with the CPS and both national and international law enforcement agencies
00:22as part of this complex investigation.
00:25I can now confirm that officers from the United States have arrested both Andrew and Tristan Tate
00:31in relation to this matter overnight and they have been detained pending ongoing legal proceedings.
00:37I want to make it clear there is no place for male violence against women and girls in our society
00:42and we will continue to work tirelessly to support victims and investigate all reports made to us.
00:49Thank you very much.
00:50We, of course, are going to fight extradition, so the court will set a hearing
00:55during which we will argue the merits of our position.
01:00We'll be looking at the fourth prong of the test, which is the probable cause prong.
01:05We believe that we have strong grounds and we will make that argument to the court at the appropriate time.
01:12I don't see any set of circumstances where the judge will want to do that today.
01:16If our clients happen to get released today, then God bless America,
01:19but I think that the chances of release today are slim to none
01:23and that does not have anything to do with the merits of the case.
01:27That is just what happens typically in these situations.
01:31The court needs time to adjust and understand what's going on.
01:35We're going to need to examine the paperwork that comes over from the United Kingdom.
01:39We'll make our arguments in a few weeks and then we'll let the chips fall where they may.
01:45The court has been blessed for a long time.
