Following their detainment, a judge at the Bucharest Court of Appeal approved their extradition to the UK after their trial for separate charges in Romania is over. Andrew is charged with rape, human trafficking, and forming a criminal gang for sexual exploitation of women. He was arrested along with his brother and two Romanian women.
