The arrest, made on a sealed warrant, is tied to a British extradition request alleging rape, sexual trafficking, and assault spanning nearly a decade. Across three countries and years of denial, the machinery of international justice has now placed the brothers at a crossroads — one that will be decided not by influence or audience, but by courts and treaties.
