Keir Starmer has been encouraged to challenge Donald Trump about delivering the online influencer Andrew Tate.
He and his brother Tristan are unable to leave Romania since their arrest in December 2022 due to accusations of human trafficking, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering.
But after the involvement of the US government in his case after the election of President Trump, the pair of British-American double subjects flew in a private jet from Bucharest to Florida yesterday.
According to the brothers' lawyer, the 'primary' reason why the Tates feel safe to return to the US that 'Donald Trump is the president'. But Governor of Florida, Ron Desantis, said that the Tate brothers were 'not welcome' after they arrived.
Four British women who bring individual civilian claims to Andrew Tate in the UK and accuse him of rape and compulsive control, said yesterday that his flight from Romania “romated them” – and their lawyer called Sir Keir to intervene.
The brothers were already subject to an extradition order to bring them back to Great Britain, but only Romanian legal proceedings were concluded. Although they have to return to Bucharest for more hearings, there are no guarantees they will do – or that American authorities would force them for this.
In a joint explanation, the British women said: 'We are unbelieving and feel because of the news that the Romanian authorities has given pressure on the pressure of the Trump government to let Andrew Tate travel through Europe and the US.
“We can only hope that the British authorities finally take action, do something about this terrifying situation and ensure that he is confronted with justice in the UK.”

Matthew Jury, the lawyer for the four women, said that Sir Keir must pick up the issue with the Trump government on behalf of the many British women who have reportedly raped and sexually abused who can now be denied justified. “
A spokesperson for the Prime Minister's office said: “More has been clear to the prime minister that human trafficking should be seen as a global security threat, similar to terrorism.”
Andrew Tate, a former resident of Luton, spoke after landing in the US, claimed that he and his brother 'are largely misunderstood'.
He added: 'We still have to be convicted of every crime in our lives. We never have a criminal record on the planet. Our case was rejected in Romania on December 19 under the Biden Government and our public prosecutor recently decided that we have no manageable indictment, so they left us back and return them [to the US]. 'Former kick boxer Andrew Tate, 38, found Roem in 2016 when he appeared in the Big Brother's reality television program – but was started after a video appeared and showed him that he was attacking a woman.
He turned to social media to promote his often misogynistic and division.
As his fame grew, he was banned from Instagram, Tiktok and Twitter.
But since the acquisition of Twitter (now X) by Trump Right-hand-man Elon Musk, Tate has been free to tweet again and is now followed by more than ten million people.

His messages are denounced by critics such as racist and homophobic. His arrest In addition to his 36-year-old brother in Romania, Doom seemed to spell for his empire. Last year the Tates were convicted of a tax fraud in Great -Britain, while they were still forbidden to leave Romania, with their assets seized.
The Romanian Foreign Minister Emil Hureeaanu said that Richard Grenell, special envoy for President Trump, has raised the matter with him this month. The Romanian public prosecutors approved a 'request to change the obligation that the defendants prevented from leaving Romania' – with a requirement to return 'when it is summoned'.
Seized assets, including five property, plus two Audis, a Nissan, a Mercedes-Benz and a Ferrari, as well as company shares, were returned to the brothers.
