Tate brothers deny criminal accusations in court and ask to be released while fighting extradition to the UK

Three darkly seared ribeye steaks weighing several pounds arrived on a white platter at an upscale restaurant in Bucharest, Romania.

The arrests marked ‌a new phase in the legal ‌troubles for the former kickboxers, who have built a large online following promoting their views on masculinity and wealth.

The hearing is the latest turn in more than a decade of notoriety that has led to criminal investigations in several countries.

The brothers, shackled and wearing light-beige jail garb on Thursday, were taken into custody in Miami in July after prosecutors in the United Kingdom filed new charges against them.
