The Tate brothers will be extradited to the UK after they are tried in Romania, the British government said, according to The Telegraph, which quotes Security Minister Dan Jarvis.

The announcement comes after Andrew Tate gave a post, the day after the presidential elections, in which he said he was leaving Romania and hinted that he was doing it because of the fact that Nicusor Dan came out as president.

    That wasn’t an extradition.

    Trump’s State Dept asked Romania to allow them to be allowed to leave the country, Romania accepted.

    I believe the charges were effectively suspended while they are out of Romania, but in theory the state prosecutor could restart prosecution at any time, these travel arrangements usually come with an agreement to “toll” (ie suspend) the expiration of the statute of limitations or requirement for speedy prosecution for some amount of time while they are out of country, so they can still be prosecuted at a later date.
