Tate faces extradition to UK over allegations of rape and trafficking

Bedfordshire police said they had been granted the warrant by authorities in Romania, but would have to wait until proceedings there on allegations of sexual violence and trafficking, which Tate denies, are completed.

Tate, 37, a controversial social media influencer accused of holding anti-women views, was detained in Romania on Monday after the arrest warrant was issued.

He and his brother Tristan, 35, face charges in the UK including "sexual aggression" dating to 2012-15, according to a statement by his public relations representative.

The Bedfordshire force said: "As part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of rape and human trafficking, Bedfordshire police has obtained a European arrest warrant for two men in their 30s.

"We are working with authorities in Romania as part of this investigation." It said its investigation was called Operation Moonwalk and asked "anyone with information about this specific investigation" to contact them.
