Unfortunately I believe both of them are currently in Romania/US at the moment. The UK may have brought charges against them, but they seem to have pretty much escaped prosecution in Romania and have found Asylum in the US under the current government. It’s unlikely that either Tates step back into the UK.
Isn’t there a warrant for their arrest in Florida? I believe they were there for two nights and on one of these nights he raped someone. I think he went back to Romania to escape US jail.
From reading headlines here on Lemmy I know the Florida governor was threatening charges but IDK what really happened. My impression was that they were expecting support from the Trump admin but it didn’t really materialise and the US wasn’t the safe harbour they had hoped for.
Yeah I’m not an expert on the Tate brothers and I’m not going to search them up.
IIRC they were in Romania and when the Trump admin landed in January the brothers some how got special leave to travel on the proviso they returned for their hearings later. They went to Florida thinking that they would get looked after by the Trump admin, but it didn’t go very well and the governor of Florida was threatening charges in the US.
So to my knowledge there was no formal “asylum” but they were banking on their ideology aligning with Trumps.
Apologies, I didn’t mean the legal definition of pf Asylum. The Tate brothers are both American citizens, but they’re definitely leaning on the current political climate in the US to avoid consequences
Actually I believe I saw recently that Romania agreed to extradite them to the UK. I don’t remember the source though, so take that with a grain of salt.
They have agreed, but they must face their charges in Romania first. I don’t know if that means they serve their sentences and are then extradited or what.

Yep US will likely protect him. Good news is that there’s no statute of limitations on these crimes so they’ll never go away.
I don’t think they’re still in the US.

I don’t know much about them.

He returned because he was legally obligated to return
I mean, he’s also legally obligated not to rape people but that doesn’t seem to bother him.
Yeah but if Trump was going to give them succour it’s not very likely they would voluntarily go back to Romania.
Other commenter said they may have asylum there, and last news I can find in Feb says they’re there. Only had a quick look though

Ideology aligning with Trumps is a great way of putting it. It’s music to Trumps ears

Yes I agree
