Andrew Tate: Controversial internet figure Andrew Tate, along with his brother Tristan Tate, has been formally charged with multiple serious criminal offenses in the United Kingdom, including rape, human trafficking, and actual bodily harm.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed that Andrew Tate, 38, faces 11 charges related to one complainant. These include rape, actual bodily harm, and human trafficking. Meanwhile, Tristan Tate, 36, faces 10 charges, including allegations involving three different women.
According to the CPS, charges were authorized after a thorough investigation conducted by Bedfordshire Police. A European Arrest Warrant was issued in 2024, prompting Romanian courts to approve their extradition to the UK.
However, both brothers are currently still involved in domestic criminal proceedings in Romania, which must be concluded before their extradition can take place.
A CPS spokesperson said, “We can confirm that we have authorized charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate for offenses including rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution, and actual bodily harm. These charging decisions followed receipt of a file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police.”
Despite the serious nature of the allegations, both Andrew and Tristan Tate have denied all wrongdoing. Their legal representatives have not yet responded to the latest UK developments.
The CPS also issued a reminder that criminal proceedings are now active, warning the public and media to avoid commentary or social media discussions that could interfere with the brothers’ right to a fair trial.
Andrew Tate, known for his polarizing views and online presence, has a large global following, particularly in the United States, where his content often trends across social media platforms. With official UK charges now in place, his legal troubles are expected to receive significant international attention, including from American media.
This case highlights growing cross-border cooperation on high-profile criminal investigations involving internet personalities. More updates are expected as legal proceedings continue in both Romania and the UK.
