Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan can be extradited to the UK, a Romanian court has ruled.

Andrew Tate, 37, and Tristan, 35, were detained on Monday in Bucharest after Bedfordshire Police said it had obtained an arrest warrant.

The brothers can be extradited only after the conclusion of their separate trial in Romania on human trafficking charges, a judge ruled.

They have been released from custody.

    “Controversial Influencer…” I think you meant, “Alleged rapist, human trafficker, organized-crime participant, and confirmed misogynist Tate…”

    Now they can come to the UK and be given 6 year sentences suspended for 15 years because there isn’t enough room in the prisons

      According to the blurb, they’ll be transferred to the UK after the trial in Romania. Even if they’re found guilty in Romania first. They’ll then have a trial in the UK. If they’re also found guilty there, Romania and the UK will come up with an agreement on which prison gets him first.

      I mean, I unfortunately have a similar hairline and it’s natural. Can’t say it doesn’t look weird though

    If these shitheads actually go to jail, it’s prob be one of best days to come tbh. Less misogyny and stupid indoctrination to young people esp young impressionable teenage boys.

      Unfortunately I think it would play into victim complexes, and someone else would take their place quickly enough.

        Have you ever looked into the “manosphere?” Because there is already a sea of Tate-adjacent unwashed taints already taking up that mantle

          I haven’t, but this doesn’t surprise me at all. Tons of money to be made manipulating insecure men.
