The brothers have long claimed that their violent and misogynistic statements have been taken out of context or were intended as jokes.Jackie Perczek, another one of their lawyers, said the Tates have shown they are not a flight risk by returning to Romania every month after they were accused there of luring women for sexual exploitation.“For three years they have not fled,” she said. “They’ve travelled the world and every month they return to Romania.”The former professional kickboxers, who have dual US and UK citizenship, have millions of social media followers and are vocal supporters of Donald Trump. The White House has said the brothers shouldn’t expect any help from the president.McBride said shortly after the Tates were arrested that “they’ve never done nothing wrong. They shouldn’t be extradited for crimes they did not commit,” he said. McBride said the extradition attempt was politically motivated, though he provided no details.Prosecutors in Britain said the new charges relate to four new accusers and were brought after authorities received evidence from police in Bedfordshire. The allegations, which span from 2010 to 2017, include rape, assault, trafficking and offences relating to “indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.”The brothers are already charged with rape, bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain relating to three other accusers in the UK between 2012 and 2015.Article continues belowThe brothers moved to Romania in 2016 and were arrested there in 2022, accused of participating in schemes to lure women for sexual exploitation. They denied those allegations, and the Romanian case hasn’t gone forward because of legal and procedural problems.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Andrew TateBreaking News
