Romanian prosecutors indict Andrew Tate for trafficking minors, money laundering
DIICOT says the brothers recruited minors with false promises of romance and used threats, violence and laundering to hide profits from webcam exploitation.
- 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.
