The British government has formally asked the United States to extradite Andrew and Tristan Tate to stand trial on dozens of sex-crime charges, Miami New Times reported. The proceeding is at the stage, and the case has not been decided. The charges listed in the report include ten counts of rape involving women 16 or older, seven counts of assault causing actual bodily harm, five counts related to arranging or facilitating travel for exploitation or sexual exploitation, one count of controlling prostitution for gain, seven counts of distributing an indecent photograph of a child, eight counts of making an indecent photograph of a child, four counts of possessing extreme pornography, five counts of rape involving women 16 or older, six counts of assault causing actual bodily harm, and one count of penetrative sexual assault, according to Miami New Times. Romanian prosecutors allege Andrew Tate trafficked a minor, had sex with a minor, laundered money and tampered with witnesses, and Tristan Tate was indicted as an alleged accomplice, Miami New Times reported. The charges are allegations; the defendants have not been tried, and they are presumed innocent. The date of the alleged conduct and the date of the extradition request have not been established in the available reporting.

How we work

This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.

Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.

Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.

None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
