Andrew and Tristan Tate face no immediate arrest in Hong Kong without formal government requests. Lawmakers confirmed the city cannot extradite the brothers to the UK or Romania, where they face serious legal action. Hong Kong suspended its extradition treaty with the UK in 2020; it also lacks a pact with Romania. UK charges were authorised in May 2025.
