Why wasn't this guy arrested years ago?

[–] lemmelemmy@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

US didn’t let Romania to charge them. I wonder what sort of threat they made over romania

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 7 hours ago

Both Tates were arrested in Romania in 2022.

There is an arrest warrant out for them in the United Kingdom since 2024.

They were arrested in the United States in 2026 under the extradition request of the UK.

Didn't trump pardon him? Or ask Romania to transfer him to US.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

A Trump official visited the Romanian authorities and the next day the Tates travel restrictions were lifted.

Right? Why has this been hard?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

Ircc he was, then released on house arrest, no clue what happened to that cause you know he famously got arrested in Florida recently, and last I checked that ain't Romania. He's probably lining someone's pockets.

It's well known that a $1,000,000 'donation' to Trump gets the donor a Presidential pardon for anything.

I still don't understand why he came to America. He's got to know we have extradition treaties.

I don't know, but he sounds like some people I've met. When I was in Dublin, in a pub, this one Romanian guy proceeded to try and tell a joke... ugh the punchline was "it was womans" and it was good my buddy was there and bought him a pint to shut him up since I was already 10-12 pints deep. If you question that part; there may have been some "smelling salts" and plenty of cigarettes involved. Sorry for the rant it just grinds my gears.

smelling salts

I like the cut of your jib. That ammonia shit is too intense for me. I really don't know how gym bros do it regularly.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If only there was some way to know!

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 points 10 hours ago

I'm not giving him the search. The sooner his name is forgotten, the better we all are.
