 "Social media influencer Andrew Tate and brother Tristan can be extradited to UK, Romanian court rules")
Andrew Tate, the social media influencer, who is known for his misogynistic views, can be extradited to Britain to face sex crime charges along with his brother Tristan after their trial gets over in Romania said the Bucharest Court of Appeal on Tuesday.
In a brief statement, the Romania police officials said that Andrew and Tristan were taken into custody Monday night in Romania on a European arrest warrant issued by the British authorities.
The lawyer for the brothers, Eugen Vidineac, said the ruling “provides an opportunity for the brothers to participate fully in their defense and for the legal process to proceed in a transparent manner.”
On Tuesday, The Bedfordshire Police in England said in a statement that it was working with the authorities in Romania. “As part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of rape and human trafficking, Bedfordshire Police has obtained a European Arrest Warrant for two men in their 30s,” the police said.
Mr. Tate’s spokesman said the brothers “categorically reject all charges and express profound disappointment that such serious allegations are being resurrected without substantial new evidence.”

Adin Ross, an online streamer, said that Mr. Tate sent him a text message that said, “I’m going to be leaving Romania soon and probably never coming back.”
A spokeswoman for Mr Tate denied that the brothers had planned to flee Romania. “We believe this rumour has originated from a popular online influencer who misconstrued a text message from our clients while streaming live,” the spokeswoman said.
