Brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested in connection with an investigation into string of offences reported to both Bedfordshire Police and Hertfordshire Constabulary.
Andrew Tate, 39, and Tristan Tate, 38, were arrested in Miami on Saturday (July 18). CPS had previously authorised charges after the force submitted evidence into allegations dating back to 2012.
Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit have been investigating a number of other offences reported to Bedfordshire Police and Hertfordshire Constabulary.
There have been 38 new charges authorised against Andrew and Tristan Tate, bringing the total number of charges against the brothers to 59. Andrew faces 42 charges, and 17 charges against Tristan.
Assistant Chief Constable Karena Thomas, from Bedfordshire Police, said: “Officers from our major crime unit have been working closely alongside the Crown Prosecution Service and both national and international law enforcement agencies as part of this complex investigation.
“We understand the interest that this case will generate, but we would urge the public not to speculate and to allow the legal process to be carried out correctly.
“There is no place for male violence against women and girls, and we will continue to work tirelessly to support victims and investigate all reports made to us.”
