Is Andrew Tate in jail?
Last reviewed
As of 3 October 2026: held in US federal detention in Miami after his arrest by the US Marshals Service on 18 July 2026 on a UK extradition request. On 9 September 2026, in a written order following an 8-hour detention hearing on 27 August at which both brothers testified, US Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis denied bail — finding they had failed to demonstrate the special circumstances that would justify release in an extradition case — so he remains in custody; the UK has since lodged its formal extradition request with the US, which the State Department is now reviewing for compliance with the UK–US treaty. No source we have reviewed records any criminal conviction against him, and he denies all charges.
