Federal prosecutors have expanded their case against the Alexander brothers.
In a superseding indictment filed Thursday in a Manhattan federal court, prosecutors added six more charges against one or more of the brothers. The charges are related to sex trafficking involving four additional women, including one minor. The federal case now includes a total of nine charges of sexual trafficking involving six women.
Once superstars brokers in the New York luxury real estate world, Tal and Oren Alexander have been embroiled in state and federal criminal charges since their arrests in Miami in December 2024. Oren’s twin brother Alon was also apprehended at that time. At least 18 women have filed civil suits against one or more of the brothers.
Prosecutors claim that the brothers have engaged in schemes to drug and rape “dozens” of women dating back to their days in high school. The charges in the indictment date back to 2009. During a raid of Tal’s apartment in January, the FBI reportedly found a hard drive that includes videos of the alleged assaults.
In the new indictment, Tal and Alon are charged with forcing a minor to engage in prostitution in 2009, and one of the additional charges is for coercing a woman to travel from Nevada to New York and assaulting her.
The brothers have denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty to all federal, state and civil charges. They’re being held in a federal facility in Brooklyn while they await the start of their trial in January 2026.
During bail hearings, the Alexanders offered “any amount” to secure their freedom but were denied. Their legal troubles have strained their finances, with reports indicating that they’ve tried to liquidate assets such as their properties in New York and Miami.
White-label brokerage Side — which Tal and Oren’s defunct brokerage Official Partners was affiliated with — sued the brothers for allegedly committing multiple events of default on a $4.2 million loan extended to them in August 2022. The parties settled the case in April for an undisclosed amount.
