Starmer pressured to intercept Andrew Tate in Dubai to face trial for UK rape charges
The self-described misogynist will appear at a Dubai boxing match this weekend, while facing civil action in the UK from four women alleging assault and rape
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been urged to bring influencer Andrew Tate back to the United Kingdom to face rape charges, as he is due to appear at a celebrity boxing match in Dubai.
The 39-year-old self-described misogynist is due to fight in the Misfits Mania bout against American Chase DeMoor in Dubai on Saturday night.
He and his brother Tristan are facing a series of 21 charges in the UK, including rape, assault, human trafficking, and controlling prostitution.
Bedfordshire Police has obtained a European arrest warrant for the men but agreed to let separate court proceedings in Romania for rape and human trafficking be completed first.
Tate is also facing civil action in Britain from four women who have accused him of assault and rape.
The Tate brothers had been under house arrest in Romania until February, and they have travelled overseas – including to the United States – since the ban was lifted.
Starmer is now facing pressure to use Tate’s journey to Dubai as the impetus to extradite him to the UK.
