Andrew and Tristan Tate face criminal charges in Britain including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking as well as a civil case.

Photograph: Inquam Photos/Eduard Vinatoru/Reuters Women accusing Andrew Tate criticise UK extradition delay as influencer appears in Russia Lawyer for British women attacks ‘extraordinary spectacle’ of Tate’s arrival in Moscow British women who have accused Andrew Tate of rape, assault and coercive control have questioned why the self-professed misogynistic influencer has appeared in Russia as UK authorities continue to hold off on seeking his extradition. Tate admires Vladimir Putin and amplifies Kremlin propaganda online. He arrived in the same week that Russian authorities welcomed US rightwing figures at an annual conference described as Russia’s answer to Davos. Tate and his brother Tristan, who face criminal charges in Britain including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking as well as a civil case brought by four women, were met by a troupe of folk singers and dancers in Moscow. A lawyer for the British women bringing the civil case said the failure of British authorities to extradite the brothers had produced the “extraordinary spectacle” of the Tates being handed a platform in Russia . The two men have also been charged in Romania with human trafficking, rape and forming an organised criminal group, after their arrest in December 2022. There is an extradition warrant out for them but the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has agreed that they will not be extradited to the UK until those criminal proceedings are settled. This policy decision has been questioned by Matthew Jury, the women’s solicitor at McCue Jury & Partners, who said there was nothing to stop British authorities seeking to extradite the men. “By failing to secure Andrew Tate’s extradition, the British authorities have failed British women seeking justice as well as Britain’s wider interests,” he said. “That failure has now produced the extraordinary spectacle of Tate travelling to Russia – a state that has decriminalised some forms of domestic violence – to be handed a new platform from which to attack western values and amplify Putin’s propaganda to his millions of followers. “For a government that repeatedly calls violence against women and girls a national emergency, and is consistently unable to confront Russia’s relentless attempts to undermine our values, communities and democracy, this is a profound national embarrassment.” One of the women making the claim for damages said: “It is deeply upsetting that, once again, Andrew Tate is travelling all over the world in the face of an outstanding extradition warrant and despite the serious criminal charges against him. We reiterate our calls for the UK government finally
