    An attorney for the brothers said they are innocent and criticized the UK’s move to seek extradition.

    “There is a long-standing agreement between the UK and Romanian governments that the UK would not seek extradition while the Romanian proceedings are pending,” Joseph McBride said. “Those proceedings are ongoing right now. That agreement exists because no nation gets to trample the judicial sovereignty of another for political convenience.”

    Romania fumbled this, let the UK take a swing and Romania can get in line.
