Attorney General James Uthmeier is getting the last laugh when they threatened the Tate brothers.
Last year, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he would launch an investigation into Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, who were staying in the state while being investigated in various countries over human trafficking allegations.
“Florida is not a place where you’re welcome with that type of conduct. Our Attorney General, James Uthmeier, is looking into what state hooks and jurisdictions we have to deal with this. I don’t know how it came to this. We were not involved. We were not notified. I found out through the media.”
On Saturday, both Tate brothers were arrested while attending a bare-knuckle boxing event in Miami, and are facing extradition to the UK.

Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested in Miami … just before Andrew was set to cohost a bareknuckle boxing event.
The brothers are also facing legal issues in the United Kingdom … where 21 charges have been authorized against them — 11 for Andrew and 10 for Tristan. It’s unclear if this arrest has anything to do with that case.

After their arrest, Uthmeier took to social media to mock them.
