Two Slovakian men appeared in Court today, charged with conspiracy to rape Bradford prostitutes four years ago.

Matus Tipan, 28, and 45-year-old Miroslav Karicka, appeared at Leeds Magistrates Court after West Yorkshire detectives travelled to Slovakia to execute European arrest warrants.

Tipan and Karicka were remanded in custody to appear at crown court next Friday.

International arrest warrants were issued after another Slovakian man, Lubomir Kora (pictured above), 33, was jailed indefinitely in 2008 for conspiracy to rape sex workers in Bradford.

A 40-year-old Slovakian man remains in custody in his home country after being arrested as part of the inquiry.
