Andrew Tate and brother Tristan will return to UK to face charges, lawyers say
Internet personality Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan will return to Britain to defend themselves against rape, human trafficking and other charges, their lawyers said on Thursday. Prosecutors authorised charges in January 2024 against the Tate brothers, who are dual US and British citizens that lived in Romania until earlier this year. But the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) did not announce the 21 charges involving several women until Wednesday. Lawyers said the brothers are at a disadvantage because British prosecutors have not shared any information with them about the charges. "These are historic allegations and our clients are not even being told who the supposed victims are," the Holborn Adams law firm said in a statement. The former professional kickboxers have millions of followers on social media. Self-described misogynist Andrew Tate has attracted a much larger following, drawing boys and young men to the luxurious lifestyle he projects. Andrew Tate, 38, faces 10 charges relating to three women, while Tristan Tate, 36, faces 11 charges relating to one woman. Both men face charges of rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking, while Andrew Tate faces the additional offence of controlling prostitution for gain. The allegations from Bedfordshire, a county north of London where the brothers grew up, date back to between 2012 to 2015. The siblings were arrested by Romanian authorities in late 2022, with Andrew Tate accused of rape and human trafficking, and Tristan of human trafficking. The brothers deny all charges, and a Romanian appeals court said in December a human trafficking case could not proceed because of legal and procedural irregularities. Last year, a Romanian court ordered the extradition of Andrew and Tristan Tate to the UK. However, before that can happen, Britain's CPS said the pair's legal affairs on the continent must be settled. In February, the Tate brothers were granted permission to leave house arrest in Romania. They now live in Florida, although to meet their bail conditions, they must return to the European nation regularly. Lawyers for the brothers said they may have information that could undermine the allegations, but police and prosecutors won't speak with them. They said the Tates would return to England when their cases in Romania conclude, and that they will be aggressively defended. AP

Tate brothers to face UK rape and trafficking charges, lawyer says
Controversial "Manosphere" influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate will return to the UK to defend themselves against charges which include rape and trafficking after ongoing proceedings in Romania have been concluded, their lawyers said Thursday. In January 2024, prosecutors authorised charges against the pair, who are dual US-British citizens, but the UK Crown Prosecution Service did not announce the charges — which involve abuse of several women — until Wednesday. In the meantime, Romanian courts have issued an order to extradite the pair once their ongoing proceedings have concluded, British prosecutors said. The Tates' lawyers have claimed that the brothers are at a disadvantage because British prosecutors have not shared any information with them about the charges, but have stated that the pair would be aggressively defended. 'These are historic allegations and our clients are not even being told who the supposed victims are,' the Holborn Adams law firm said in a statement. 'This ... demonstrates a different approach on the basis of the profile of our clients', the firm added. 38-year-old Andrew Tate, who is a self-professed misogynist, has a larger following than his brother, drawing boys and young men to the luxurious lifestyle he projects. He faces 10 charges related to three women that include rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain, prosecutors said. Meanwhile, Tristan Tate, 36, faces 11 charges related to one woman that include rape, human trafficking and actual bodily harm. The allegations from Bedfordshire, the county north of London where the brothers grew up, span between 2012 and 2015. The Tates were arrested in Romania in late 2022 and formally indicted last year on charges that they participated in a criminal ring there that lured women who were allegedly sexually exploited. Andrew Tate was also charged with rape. The brothers have been under investigation for more than two years by the Romanian authorities for alleged crimes, including rape, human trafficking and money laundering. They deny all the charges. A Romanian appeals court said in December 2024 that a human trafficking case could not proceed because of legal and procedural irregularities. Lawyers for the Tates said they may have information that could undermine the allegations, but police and prosecutors have refused to speak with them. The brothers left Romania for the US in February, but have since returned after Florida officials announced they were looking into the possibility of prosecuting them there. They told the press upon their return in March that "innocent men don't run from anything".

Andrew Tate, brother to return to UK to face criminal charges over rape, trafficking
Internet personality Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan will return to Britain to face criminal charges once separate legal proceedings in Romania have been concluded, a lawyer for the siblings said. Britain's Crown Prosecution Service confirmed earlier this week that it had previously authorized charges against the brothers including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking. The Tates are facing a separate criminal investigation in Romania over trafficking allegations, and the courts there have already approved their extradition to the UK. The brothers have denied all the allegations. 'Once those proceedings are concluded in their entirety then The Tates will return to face UK allegations,' Holborn Adams, the law firm representing the brothers, said in a statement on Thursday. Andrew Tate, a self-described misogynist who has gained millions of fans by promoting an ultra-masculine lifestyle, separately faces a civil lawsuit in Britain, which has been brought by four women and is due to go to trial in 2027.
