So they are charged in UK and this is for extradition?
Hadn't heard of them in forever.
Yeah. I can't get too into this topic as they just seem like dirtbags not worth the time but going to Florida from Hungary while fighting extradition to the UK was...not the most genius move.
Andrew and Tristan Tate spent 3 years fighting extradition to the UK. Then they boarded a jet to the one country that made it easy.

In March 2024, a Bucharest court actually approved Britain's extradition request. But it postponed the handover until their Romanian trafficking trial finished. Read that again: the Romanian prosecution they were fighting was also the legal shield keeping them out of a British courtroom.
In February 2025, travel restrictions lifted and they flew to Florida. It was framed as a win.
Legally, it was a downgrade. Romania wasn't going to surrender them mid-prosecution. The US operates under a 2003 extradition treaty with the UK that is among the most heavily used on Earth, and unlike France or Germany, America extradites its own citizens. Dual US-UK passports offer zero protection.
Today the Crown Prosecution Service announced 59 charges: 42 against Andrew, 17 against Tristan, seven alleged victims, alleged conduct spanning 2010 to 2017. Hours later, US Marshals had them handcuffed outside a bare-knuckle boxing event in Miami.
They traded the slowest extradition queue in Europe for the fastest extradition pipeline in the world. The 17 months of freedom cost them the only shield they had.
From a policy matter unrelated to these clowns, I do have concerns that our extradition process to the British caliphate should be looked at, moving forward.
