A Romanian court Tuesday approved a request from Britain to extradite internet personality Andrew Tate but postponed doing so until Romanian trial proceedings finish. The court also ruled Tate and his brother Tristan should be released from custody immediately. They had been detained for 24 hours pending a ruling on the British arrest warrant.
Tate and Tristan were detained on Monday on allegations of sexual aggression dating back to 2012-2015, which they deny. British police told Reuters the Tates were part of an investigation into allegations of rape and human trafficking. The case has since been with Bucharest court’s preliminary chamber, which needs to decide whether the trial can start. Tate has been banned from various social media platforms for his misogynistic views and for hate speech.
