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..."

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 42 points 3 months ago

Yeah theres no room for the libel law excuse on this one, Tate was literally tried for this stuff.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 months ago

That wouldn't be an issue even if they weren't tried. Alleged is one of those words that you can add to make it factually correct, as long as someone is making the allegations. Repotrting on facts is always fine (in the US at least). Now the person making the allegations could be libeling them, but not the group reporting it.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

But if the reporting organization knows that the person making allegations is libelous then they're also guilty of it. Again, though, none of that matters in the context of Tate.

'Fucking rat criminal and his fucking rat criminal brother get what's coming to them'

A much better headline

[-] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 95 points 3 months ago

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 69 points 3 months ago

Collectively, they almost have one whole chin.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

And the brother is still (marginally) less ugly.

[-] kirbowo808@kbin.social 61 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] bamboo@lemm.ee 24 points 3 months ago

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

[-] qaz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I think so too, Tate has proven how profitable this can be.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

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

[-] bamboo@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] daft61lunacy@lemmy.world 46 points 3 months ago

As Romanian I really want these fuckers out of my country and never hear about them.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 40 points 3 months ago

If they're found guilty in Romania, would they have to serve their sentence there and then be extradited to the UK to have another trial, and possibly serve another sentence?

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Split them in half?

[-] supercriticalcheese@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Guillotine is not on the cards unfortunately at this stage

[-] avater@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

buzzsaw it is then

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 29 points 3 months ago

This is probably Romania looking for some diplomatic back scratching. It really depends on what agreement the UK and Romania come to. Also there are a number of other outcomes that are deep in the negotiations.

[-] n2burns@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Maybe UK wants first crack? I don't think there's anything stopping Romania from extraditing them, then once they've (hopefully) served their sentences, requesting they be extradited back.

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

These two have the weakest chins I've ever seen. Slider all the way to 0 on the chin stat in the character creator.

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

They look like Fable NPCs

[-] avater@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

hope those little ratfaced cunts serve a long time!

[-] taanegl@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

I hope the lawyers crawl up in their colon, set up a bonfire and pitch a tent.

[-] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Get rekt you no-chin having bald beta bitch

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

I'm bald.

[-] MechanicalJester@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

But do you have a chin?

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Yes, but many don't.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

That’s definitely a totally natural hairline right there.

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 6 points 3 months ago

Yes

Ha ha ha

Yes

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 5 points 3 months ago

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

[-] frustratedphagocytosis@kbin.social 13 points 3 months ago

Bring them over to the US, we always have money for new prisons and are experimenting with new forms of state murder with horribly insufficient oversight

[-] sirjash@feddit.de 10 points 3 months ago

So you can do what? Elect him President?

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

I hear the renditions are quite extraordinary.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Its too late. Their hate is out their, propogating.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Eh. The Romanian charges were for sex trafficking, which their horde of incels don't actually mind.

The UK charges they fled include rape in addition to human trafficking.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Thats cool, but it won't stop the incoming wave of incels these two created. My point wasn't it is too late for Justice. My point was they've already built far too many followers for their ideas to die with them. We're stuck with these brainwashed people.
