Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan can be extradited to the UK, a Romanian court has ruled.

Andrew Tate, 37, and Tristan, 35, were detained on Monday in Bucharest after Bedfordshire Police said it had obtained an arrest warrant.

The brothers can be extradited only after the conclusion of their separate trial in Romania on human trafficking charges, a judge ruled.

They have been released from custody.

      wtf? The only two countries in Europe that are barbaric enough to have capital punishment are Russia and Belarus. No civilized country has it.

        Russia doesn’t have the death penalty: They abolished it to get into the Council of Europe and haven’t re-introduced it yet.

        …that’s de jure, though. De facto is a completely different matter, both when it comes to falling out of windows and prison conditions so bad serving meatgrinder duty in Ukraine is a preferable option.

          It does. It’s just suspended. But yeah, the legal status doesn’t mean anything when you’re just going to illegally murder people anyway.

          If you make any exceptions you grant the government a legal loophole for murdering people. That, and court systems are never accurate enough to be able to sentence someone to death.

        Always makes me laugh seeing Americans realize how they look to the rest of the world on the internet.

              Nah. There’s nothing civilized about capital punishment. I specified Europe because the UK is in Europe, and there’s no European country with capital punishment outside of Russia & Belarus.

          Yeah the USA isn’t really a modern nation. Just a bunch of corporations and religious nuts in a trenchcoat

            With an enormous, technologically-advanced military. And nukes.

          1: Most states don’t have it either, and the federal government doesn’t ask for it anymore. You’d have to like, lead an outright rebellion as a filthy poor to get a federal death sentence.

          2: Some people deserve to get got, your opinion means nothing regardless.

          When we used to colonize? The US literally was a European colony too, so that makes you the same bearer of your own “criticism”. But why look hundreds of years into the past when we talk about current modern day policies? Especially when the US continues to uphold those archaic practices? You just further prove my point that Europe moved on and left its gruesome past behind, while the US further relishes in it, or even wanders backwards. I heard you’re big into banning books and taking away freedoms now too.
