Oren and Alon Alexander, well-known figures in the luxury real estate market, will remain in custody following their initial court appearance in Miami on Friday, where they faced serious charges of sex trafficking and gang rape. The brothers, who are highly regarded in the real estate sector for their work with elite clients, had hoped for a bond but were denied. Federal prosecutors argued that the brothers posed a flight risk and a threat to the community, leading Judge Ellen D'Angelo to set a detention hearing for December 30, 2024, at which time further proceedings will determine whether the brothers will be granted bail.
Their attempt to secure their release was unsuccessful, despite the involvement of their older brother, Tal Alexander, who had proposed a massive $115 million bail package. This package was meant to ensure the brothers' release while awaiting trial in New York City. However, this request was rejected by a Miami judge last week. The charges against the Alexander brothers are severe, involving allegations of luring, drugging, and violently raping numerous women over the course of more than a decade. In addition to these federal charges, the brothers are also facing state-level charges in Florida related to three separate alleged sexual assaults.
The Alexander brothers have denied all allegations of non-consensual acts, insisting through their attorneys that any sexual encounters were consensual. The case has shaken the luxury real estate community, where the brothers had become household names. Oren and Tal Alexander were well-known for brokering high-end deals, including those for celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Liam Gallagher, and Lindsay Lohan. Their reputation in the real estate world was further solidified when they co-founded the real estate company Official in 2022, which had already made significant waves in the luxury market.
Alon Alexander, who attended law school, was also involved in the family’s private security business, making the allegations even more shocking, given their successful and established roles in both real estate and security. The ongoing legal battle has garnered widespread attention, with the high-profile nature of the case drawing in both the public and media. As the case unfolds, more details are expected to surface, but the legal proceedings indicate that it will be a long and complicated process. Meanwhile, the Alexander brothers will remain in custody, awaiting further hearings and potential trial.
