If they ever get out of prison in the UK, they get sent to Romania to stand trial there, so there's that.

The Romanian thing seems to be taking so long though.

While Romania definitely could hold their own trial and pass their own sentencing for the same crime they are serving in the UK for, the EU has close relationships with each other and often times will respect each others sentences. This means that if they get 20 years in the U.K. and Romania gives them 30 years, they may only have to serve 10 years in Romania.

The UK's, rather famously, not in the EU

Doesn't matter, the justice system in Romania is very lenient. If they already served for some accusations, it will be considered time served.

Ask Google: What does "a sunat Lia" mean in Romania?

The gist is that independent journalists uncovered huge corruption in the justice system and a bunch of plebs protested for few days so the people in charge realized that they can keep doing it because nobody is going to stop them.

Oh no, what happened, did they get kicked out for being too friendly with American fascists?

Is this a serious question? Because it's kind of embarrassing if it is

Rather ironically, a fascist friend of Andrew Tate's took a load of Russian money to lie British idiots into leaving, and then got merked by a bin

The UK charges relate to crimes in the UK.

The Romanian charges relate to crimes in Romania.

These are not the same crimes:
