I suspect that allegations against these men will be " forgotten". They are, of course, vocal supporters of Mr Trump. Sadly, I fear that the brothers will feel right at home in the Brave New World being initiated by the new team at the White House.

You can really see how This Trumpian Brave New World affects us all. Perhaps that will make people who say it is the business of America and we should keep our noses out will rethink.

This today and BP dropping their renewable initiatives yesterday. Would that have happened if the mood hadn't changed?

Can there possibly be anyone who still thinks Trump and his administration have womens' best interests at heart?

Or indeed anyone’s!

They are due back in Romania at the end of March to face the charges but like others I think Trump will make sure they are released.
They are obnoxious and vile and I dread to think of the influence they will have on young men and boys.

I have just read a report on the BBC website. Apparently the various charges against them, in Romania and the UK, have not been dropped.

All that has changed, allegedly, is that they have been given permission to leave Romania. They have been awaiting trial in Romania for two years and once tried there, they face extradition to the UK for similar charges, all of which both the brothers deny.

They have dual UK/USA citizenship and are supporters of Trump so who knows what will happen next.

I’m beyond incensed with rage 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Me too!

These disgusting bros, with their mysogonistic websites and attitudes to women, are a danger to our young men (grooming/radicalising) and all women.

I’m beyond angry!

🤬🤬🤬

So the many and well substantiated charges against them have all been dropped. They are now officially above the law.

It just shows what having friends in high places can do for you.
Sickening!!!

It really is rather frightening. Just when I begin to decide to try and ignore Trump, another shock hits the news

If they have access to Musks technology, the young boys of the world will be targeted by these odious two, flooding their timelines with brainwashing Misogynist propaganda, curtesy of Musks algorithms.

Trump put significant pressure on the authorities in Romania to let them go.
Obviously sex trafficking minors and brutally abusing women is water off a ducks back to the POTUS.

Quelle surprise! Birds of a feather and all that...

No keepingquiet they’ve had their passports returned while the case against them in Bucharest is being ‘rearranged’ not sure what that means.
I’m appalled and can see them getting away Scot free.

Unfortunately so can I 🤬🤬🤬

Have they been deported to serve their sentences in the US? I don't watch ITV news...

They were released from ^house arrest& on 14/01/25 pending the outcome of a criminal investigation.

They were on a judicial control which meant they were free to travel in Romania whilst adhering to legal conditions.

They are facing allegations of trafficking minors, sexual inter course with a minor along with money laundering.

Just the sort of misogynistic low lives Trump would be helping. Right up his street.

Breakfast news (ITV) is reporting that these brothers have left Romania by private jet, heading for America.

This is after pressure was put on the Romanian government by the Trump administration.

The Tates have joint U.K. USA nationality.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse…
