Andrew Tate’s extradition to Britain on rape and human trafficking allegations faces a delay after a court in Romania ruled he would face trial there on similar charges.
The social media personality was told by a court in Bucharest on Friday that evidence in the prosecution’s case file met the legal criteria for a trial.
The court’s preliminary chamber said in a statement: “The court notes the legality of evidence management by … prosecutors, and rules that the case can go to trial.” No date was set for the start of the trial.
Tate, 37, has repeatedly claimed on social media that Romanian prosecutors have no evidence against him and that there is a political conspiracy to silence him. His spokesman said he would appeal.
