TATE EXTRADITION: US GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS UK REQUEST The US Government has now formally asked the court to grant the UK's request for Andrew Tate's extradition. In a 57-page filing earlier this week, US prosecutors argue that the evidence submitted by the UK establishes probable cause in support of all 39 offences for which his extradition is sought. Importantly, they say the case does not rest simply on the accounts of the women who have accused him. The DOJ points to communications, witness evidence, travel records and banking records which it says independently corroborate their accounts. There has been a sustained attempt by Tate's supporters to portray the UK case as little more than allegations made by women years after the events. The DOJ filing presents a very different picture. The court has yet to decide whether Tate should be extradited. The hearing on 19 November will determine whether the legal requirements for extradition are met, not whether he is guilty. But we can now see more clearly the evidence the US Government says supports the UK's request — and the case for extradition Tate will have to answer on 19 November. Andrew Tate is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence. But due process also matters for the women who have accused him. They have waited years for the opportunity to have their allegations heard and tested in court.
