F
lorida federal court saw a dramatic appearance by twin luxury real estate moguls Oren and Alon Alexander on Thursday, as they stood before a judge in matching suicide vests for their bond hearing. The siblings, both 37, wore sunken faces and the padded vests, according to photos.

    Their bond was denied due to concerns that they would flee, despite Oren's plea to be released to care for his pregnant wife, who is expecting their first child.

    The brothers were arrested on Wednesday at separate residences in Miami Beach and are charged with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and sex trafficking by force. They also face state charges related to three alleged assaults.

    Prosecutors allege that the Alexander brothers lured victims with promises of luxury experiences and then drugged them before assaulting them. The indictment revealed that some victims were met on dating apps or social media, while others were sourced through party promoters.

    The brothers allegedly used date rape drug GHB, cocaine, and psychedelic mushrooms to facilitate their assaults, which in some cases involved multiple men. Several women have come forward with allegations of being raped by one of the brothers as far back as 2005, when they were still in high school.

    Their older brother, Tal Alexander, will face a detention hearing on Friday. The trio's real estate firm, Official, offers luxury listings in major cities worldwide. If convicted, each brother faces up to life in prison.

    Oren and Alon's lawyers have maintained their clients' innocence, with Oren's attorney stating that he is "innocent."
