US judge denies Tate brothers' release as they fight UK extradition

A US judge has denied Andrew and Tristan Tate's bid for release from a Miami jail as they appeal extradition to the UK on rape and trafficking charges.

• US Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis ruled Wednesday that the brothers are a "quintessential flight risk" because of their wealth and frequent international travel.
• Judge Louis wrote that the brothers possess an "exceptional capacity to flee the jurisdiction" despite their lawyers' arguments that they were not flight risks.
• Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Miami on July 18 after UK authorities requested their extradition, and the UK has until September 16 to submit a full request.
• The brothers face 59 charges in the UK, including rape and sex trafficking, and deny all wrongdoing.
