Romanian court approves request to extradite internet personality Tate

A Romanian court approved Britain’s request to extradite internet personality Andrew Tate but postponed the extradition until Romanian trial proceedings are concluded. The court also ordered the immediate release of Tate and his brother Tristan from police custody. They had been detained over allegations of sexual aggression dating back to 2012-15, which they deny. Tate and his brother, along with two Romanian women, were indicted in Romania for human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang for sexual exploitation, charges they have denied. The Tate brothers were in police custody from late December 2022 until April, followed by house arrest until August, and are now under judicial control, requiring regular police check-ins but allowing free movement within the country.
