Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate have been charged with multiple offences in the United Kingdom.
According to BBC, prosecutors in the UK confirmed that they have authorised 21 charges against a British-American brother, including rape, human trafficking, actual bodily harm and other offences.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) revealed that the charges against the Tate brothers were approved in 2024 before an extradition warrant to bring them back from Romania. They charged them after receiving evidence from Bedfordshire Police.
Andrew and Tristan are already under investigation in Romania for a number of charges which they deny. However, the CPS believe that “the domestic criminal matters in Romania must be settled first."
What are the charges against the Tate brothers in the UK?
As per CPS, the influencer and former kickboxer face 10 charges, including rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain related to three alleged victims, while his 36-year-old brother faces 11 charges, similar to Andrew, connected to one alleged victim.
A CPS spokesperson said, “We can confirm that we have authorised charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate for offences including rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm against three women.”
“These charging decisions followed receipt of a file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police. A European Arrest Warrant was issued in England in 2024, and as a result the Romanian courts ordered the extradition to the UK of Andrew and Tristan Tate,” the spokesperson added.
The CPS vowed to provide the defendants' right to a fair trial and urged people from reporting, commenting or sharing information online that could prejudice proceedings.
