- •New allegations involve four additional victims (rape, sex trafficking, child pornography), according to Malcolm McHaffie, who is in charge of special offenses, with Germany's government taking a keen interest in the case
- •Germany's government is aware that attorney Joseph McBride has mentioned an agreement between London and Bucharest that would prevent Britain from requesting extradition as long as a procedure remains open in Romania
BIASES
Germany's government is focusing on the extradition procedure and official statements rather than the victims or societal debate, framing the issue in a judicial-centered contextGermany's media outlets show a preference for official dispatches, with the four media outlets using nearly identical language from the British police's official statementsThere is limited coverage of the German aspect, with no article addressing the impact of the Tate brothers on the public debate in Germany regarding online misogyny
UNITED KINGDOMDOMINANT ANGLE
London is accelerating the judicial proceedings against the Tate brothers, piling up charges even before their potential extradition from the United States.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
