Social media influencers fighting against extradition to UK where they face rape, sexual assault and other allegations
Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain in jail at least two more weeks until their next hearing as they fight extradition to the United Kingdom, where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking, a federal judge said on Monday.
US magistrate Lauren Louis set a detention hearing for 13 August to determine whether the Tates should stay in jail or be released during what could be a months-long extradition process.
The brothers were not in court on Monday or required to be there and have remained in jail since making a brief court appearance two days after their 18 July arrest.
The Tates have become among the world’s most polarizing internet personalities with their promotion of wealth, male dominance and misogyny through their social media empire. The new allegations are the latest in a long-running international legal saga involving the Tates that has spanned the US, Britain and Romania. The brothers have repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
What kinda basis can they argue against extradition? Its for a crime in the UK so if you did it or not should be argued in a UK court. Not a US one.
Countries frequently only extradite if the crime they would be extraditing for is also a crime in their own jurisdiction.
The basic idea kind of makes sense, like you wouldn’t extradite your own citizen to Indonesia for acting homosexual in public, or to Afghanistan for not wearing Hijab, or to the USA for being antifa, or to Poland for having an abortion.
It just gets annoying when basic moral agreement is a given, but some sort of technicality leads to long delays.
Trump is their buddy.
