Internet personality Andrew Tate, brother detained in Romania on British warrant
Bucharest: Internet personality Andrew Tate was arrested in Romania for 24 hours on a British warrant, with the Bucharest Court of Appeals scheduled to decide on whether to extradite him.
The arrest is related to allegations of sexual aggression dating back to 2012-15, which Tate and his brother Tristan "categorically" deny, according to his PR team. The warrant was issued by Westminster Magistrates Court.
"The Bucharest Court of Appeal is slated to make a pivotal decision today on whether to execute the mandate," stated Andrew Tate's PR representative.
In June, Andrew Tate, along with his brother and two Romanian women, was indicted in Romania for human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. They have consistently denied the charges. The case is currently with the Bucharest court's preliminary chamber, awaiting a decision on whether the trial can commence.
The court's decision on Friday will also determine whether to maintain the seizure of Tate's assets enforced by Romanian prosecutors at the beginning of 2023. The Tate brothers were initially held in police custody from late December 2022 until April, later placed under house arrest until August. Currently, they are under judicial control, allowing regular check-ins with the police while having the freedom to move around, except for leaving the country.
