One of the world’s best-known influencers known for misogynist and sometimes violent maxims, Andrew Tate has been accused of having formed an organised criminal network in early 2021 in Romania and Britain, along with his brother Tristan.
They have denied the charges, and a trial date has not yet been set.
Prosecutors allege that 37-year-old Tate, his 36-year-old brother and two women set up a criminal organisation and sexually exploited several victims.
Early this morning, officers ‘conducted a raid on August 21, 2024, at the residence of the Tate brothers as part of a search related to a new investigation,’ prosecutors said in a statement.
