The UK is reportedly considering submitting an extradition request for Andrew and Tristan Tate, following their recent arrival in Florida.
The brothers, aged 38 and 36 respectively, traveled by private jet from Romania to Florida on Thursday, where they are under investigation for sex trafficking.
Legal Challenges and Reactions
According to The Daily Telegraph, British Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is exploring legal options to extradite the Tates to the UK, where they also face rape and human trafficking charges.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has publicly stated that the brothers are not welcome in his state, with legal teams reviewing potential actions against their presence.
“Florida is not a place where you’re welcome with that type of conduct,” DeSantis said. “Our attorney general is looking into what jurisdictions we have to deal with this.”
Despite their legal battles, the Tate brothers have credited former US President Donald Trump for their perceived safety in the country. However, Trump has denied any knowledge of them.
Background and Ongoing Investigations
The siblings were previously under house arrest in Romania and had been barred from leaving the country. Their legal troubles continue to unfold, with authorities in multiple countries assessing their cases.
As developments arise, officials in the UK and the US will determine the next steps regarding their legal status and possible extradition.
