Tate brothers’ lawyers plan judicial review of UK extradition bid
Their UK lawyers have started a judicial review, arguing the extradition should wait until separate Romanian proceedings end.
- Defence solicitors at Holborn Adams launched a judicial review to challenge the United Kingdom's extradition request for Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate, arguing the brothers should first face criminal proceedings in Romania.
- Earlier this month, British prosecutors requested extradition for rape and sex trafficking charges, while Romanian authorities indicted the brothers for separate trafficking and money laundering offenses; Romania previously agreed to extradition only after their own proceedings conclude.
- Andrew Ford argued that pursuing extradition while Romanian proceedings remain ongoing would "deprive them of their opportunity to be exonerated" and "impact upon their ability to be able to defend themselves in the UK." A judicial review examines if public decisions were reached lawfully.
- The State Department is reviewing applications for compliance before forwarding them to the Justice Department for a final court decision, while the brothers' lawyer Joe McBride challenges the request, arguing it lacks necessary information under the extradition treaty.
- An official State Department letter confirms Andrew Tate, 39, is "wanted to stand trial in the United Kingdom" on 10 counts of rape and other trafficking-related charges, though both men deny any wrongdoing regarding the allegations leveled by British and Romanian authorities.
