Elizabeth Callaghan: UK correspondent on Andrew and Tristan Tate facing 21 charges in the UK

Controversial social media personality Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan face 21 combined charges in the UK, including rape, bodily harm and human trafficking.

The Tates flew to the United States in February after Romanian prosecutors lifted a travel ban, flying back to Romania the following month to fulfil legal obligations.

UK correspondent Elizabeth Callaghan says the pair will be extradited to the UK after their obligations in Romania have concluded.

Hey Elizabeth, Hi, how are you doing?

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Have that very well? Thank you? What's the latest on
the Liverpool car remming.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
So, yes, this horrific event happened on Monday evening during
Liverpool's parade to celebrate their Premier League win. So police
have been given more time to question the man suspected
of driving this car into a crowd of people. They
have until today, so we'll have more on that later

(00:36):
today whether he's going to be charged or not, but
he has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous
driving and driving while I'm a fit through drugs. Now,
seven people are still in hospital but are said to
be in a stable condition and am covering well. And
really it is miraculous that nobody there haven't been any
fatalities from this that are around eighty people injured. But

(01:00):
we also know that the driver managed to get onto
this pedestrianized street and it's believed after following an ambulance
that was attending to a member of the public that
had got ill and managed to get onto this closed
off street when a barrier had been lifted up.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
And in the indication that this person just kind of
followed the ambo win because it's just where they found themselves, well,
that they actually were trying to get in there deliberately.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well, what we do know is that eyewitnesses has said
that there were some altercations with this car prior to
it going through this barrier, So there had been crowds
around it, some reports of people of somebody getting out
of the car, perhaps dropping somebody off, and I think

(01:44):
there was a lot of panic there were people around
the car before it went through this barrier, but quite
how it was allowed to get through and then that
not highlighted. There are lots of questions still that need
to be answered.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Interesting. Okay, listen, Andrew Taitan's brother, they've been charged. Now
when do they get is extradited to the UK?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, so they have to wait until they're currently in Romania.
They have to wait until all of that case has
been concluded before they will be extradited back to the UK.

here that They've been charged with twenty one offenses here

(02:29):
in the UK and they include rape, actual bodily harm,
human traffic, trafficking, a range of charges. Andrew Tates facing

(02:50):
was actually issued in twenty twenty four. They will be
extradited when the proceedings in Romania have concluded.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Elizabeth Listen running us through this business with this Irish
hip hop band with the Hispola flag. Why have they
been pulled from the concert? From the gig? Is it
because of the flag?

Speaker 2 (03:09):
No, it was seemingly not. That's not what organizers have said.
So they've said that they've been removed from a music
festival over safety fears. So this is a festival in
Glasgow and Scotland that's happening in July. Organizers say they'll
no longer perform. In a statement, Kneecap have said that

(03:30):
they'll instead play their own solo headline show in the
same city in Glasgow a few days before the festival,
but apparently police had highlighted to organizers that the potential
reaction of a large audience would require significant policing in
order for it to be safe, and perhaps the organizers

(03:51):
have taken that on board. But Kneecap have said on
a statement on social media they said we've played in
Glasgow many, many times with no issues ever. Make of
that what you will.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Interesting Elizabeth, thank you, appreciate your time. Elizabeth Callahan, UK correspondent.
