Irish media say the alleged leader of a crime gang is on his way back to Ireland from Dubai to face charges. Daniel Kinahan, 49, is accused of running an international drug smuggling and money laundering empire. An Irish military plane carrying Kinahan is expected to land on Sunday evening at an airport outside Dublin. He will be taken directly to the Special Criminal Court in Dublin to face charges of directing an organized crime group. A huge security operation is under way to ensure Kinahan faces justice, including armed police and a bomb-proof escort van.
Defense attorneys say Tate brothers should remain free in the US as they fight extradition to the UK
Attorneys for social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate argue that the brothers’ high-profile, public lives and other factors constitute special circumstances for their release. They are fighting extradition to the United Kingdom, where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking. The defense attorneys filed a motion for release Friday in Miami federal court. A detention hearing next Thursday will determine whether the Tates should stay in jail or be released during what could be a monthslong extradition process. The Tates have been in federal custody in Miami since their July 18 arrest. The brothers have repeatedly denied wrongdoing.

Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain in jail at least two more weeks until their next hearing. The brothers are fighting extradition to the United Kingdom where they are accused of rape and sex trafficking. U.S. Magistrate Lauren Louis on Monday set a detention hearing for Aug. 13 to determine whether the Tates should stay in jail or be released as they fight extradition. The Tates weren’t in court Monday or required to be there. They’ve have remained in jail since making a brief court appearance two days after their July 18 arrest. The brothers have consistently denied allegations of abuse and human trafficking.

Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández has returned to his country to face corruption charges. Hernández had been extradited to the U.S. for drug trafficking and sentenced to 45 years. But he was released in December after a pardon from President Donald Trump. Hernández led Honduras from 2014 to 2022 and was once a U.S. ally in the drug war. He now faces charges in Honduras related to a corruption case involving public funds. Legal experts fear the weak justice system may ensure his impunity. Hernández claims innocence and plans to appear before a judge on Aug. 3 for his arraignment.
A lawyer says social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will fight extradition to the United Kingdom. The brothers face rape and sex trafficking charges in the U.K. They were arrested in Miami on Saturday and appeared before a magistrate Monday. They’re being held in federal detention. A U.S. district judge will consider whether they meet the conditions for extradition in the coming weeks. An attorney for the brothers suggests the case is politically motivated but didn't explain why. The Tates’ social media empire promotes wealth, male dominance and misogyny and has made them polarizing internet personalities. They have repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
Any extradition of Andrew and Tristan Tate from the U.S. to the United Kingdom would ultimately rest with the State Department. But that's only after a judge determines whether the request fits the law and a treaty between the countries. The U.S. has a treaty that allows it to honor a U.K. extradition request if the alleged conduct would also be considered illegal in the U.S. The Tate brothers are accused of rape, assault, trafficking and other offenses in England. An expert says it's “very hard” to defeat extradition.
Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested by federal authorities in Miami. Brady McCarron, a spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals Service, told The Associated Press that the brothers were taken into custody on a sealed warrant. British prosecutors announced late Saturday they were seeking the extradition of the brothers on rape and sex trafficking charges. The offenses are alleged to have occurred between July 2010 and August 2017, the Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement. The pending charges in the United Kingdom accused the brothers of abusing women in an area north of London, where they grew up. Their lawyers had said they denied the allegations.
