Andrew and Tristan Tate face 21 criminal charges in the UK, including rape, assault, and human trafficking involving three women. The Crown Prosecution Service approved these charges before a 2024 extradition order brought the brothers from Romania. Both deny all accusations.
Andrew Tate, 38, faces ten charges related to controlling prostitution and abuse. Tristan Tate, 36, is charged with eleven offenses connected to similar crimes involving a different victim. The alleged incidents date back to 2012–2015.
Bedfordshire Police issued international arrest warrants. In Romania, the brothers are investigated for trafficking minors, coercion, and money laundering. Authorities identified at least 34 victims, including a 15-year-old.
Born in Luton with U.S. and British citizenship, the brothers moved to Romania and gained online fame for controversial content targeting young men with extreme gender views. Andrew Tate remains influential in the “manosphere” despite bans from major platforms, reaching nearly 11 million followers on X (formerly Twitter).
Both deny all allegations. Legal cases continue in the UK and Romania.
