Romanian prosecutors indict Andrew Tate for trafficking minors, money laundering
Prosecutors say the brothers lured victims with fake relationships, then used coercion and intimidation to generate $1.25 million from webcam work.
- On Friday, Romanian Prosecutors indicted Andrew Tate for trafficking minors, money laundering, sex with a minor, and witness tampering, while Tristan Tate faces complicity charges in the years-long investigation.
- The Bucharest Court and Appeal returned the original case file to DIICOT in late 2024, finding it flawed; Prosecutors subsequently expanded the investigation and brought additional charges to address procedural defects.
- Prosecutors allege the brothers laundered almost 3 million euros earned from human trafficking via two companies between 2018 and 2022; the expanded investigation also includes allegations Andrew Tate sexually exploited a woman in 2017.
- Both brothers currently remain in the United States, contesting extradition to the United Kingdom, where British authorities have brought nearly 60 charges including rape, human trafficking, and sexual exploitation.
- The Tate brothers have consistently denied wrongdoing, describing the cases as unfounded and politically motivated; judicial sources indicate some allegations were separated to avoid statutory limitation risks.
