[4] In December 2024, the brothers were arrested on numerous charges involving sex trafficking, sexual assault and drugging dozens of women over more than a decade.
[12] In 2019, the brothers co-represented the buyer in the United States' most expensive residential home transaction, when a 24,000 square foot penthouse, at 220 Central Park South, sold for $238 million.
[16][17] The brothers' clients included Leon Black,[18] Lindsay Lohan, Liam Gallagher,[19] Kim Kardashian and Kanye West,[20][21] Steve Madden,[8] and Tommy Hilfiger.
[29] On the morning of December 11, 2024, Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander were all arrested by FBI agents in Miami Beach, Florida on charges of sex trafficking and drugging and raping dozens of women.
[31][38][32] Shortly after his arrest, Tal appeared in a South Florida federal court as part of the New York sex trafficking investigation against him.
[31] On December 12, 2024, Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Mindy Glazer ordered Oren and Alon temporarily held without bond on the state charges, with a hearing on a final decision scheduled for the next day.
[43][44] The ruling came in spite of an offer from the Alexander family to pay $115 million in real estate holdings to secure Tal's release.
[26][43] Following the bail hearings, it was reported that Oren and Alon Alexander would appear in a Miami federal court during the upcoming week.
[46] It was also stated that even after their first appearance in federal court, Oren and Alon would both remain at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center until at least the pre-trial detention hearing.
[47] On December 19, Oren and Alon Alexander were transferred from state custody to a federal detention facility in Miami,[48] prior to their pre-trial court hearing.
[48] At the hearing that day, Denaro informed Judge Jean that he would not proceed with the issue of bonds for the twin Alexander brothers until a later time, when the federal case was resolved.
[52] On January 14, it was revealed that federal prosecutors in New York had collected video evidence showing that each of the brothers videotaped some of their rapes of impaired women.
[57] Conditions for his release also included house arrest with an ankle monitor and an order to stay away from the alleged victim and surrender his U.S. and Israeli passports.
[59][60] On January 3, 2025, it was reported that two additional women, described as friends of the Pennsylvania-based accuser, had joined the Colorado federal lawsuit against Oren and Alon Alexander.
