The Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan, have been involved in a number of criminal and civil legal affairs stemming from their joint business and personal activities. As of August 2024, the Tate brothers are facing five legal investigations—three criminal and one civil—in Romania and the United Kingdom.[1][2][3] In response, the Tate brothers filed two lawsuits against their accusers in the United States.[4][5] Andrew Tate also faces an additional civil case in the United Kingdom.[6] The Tate brothers have denied all charges and allegations.
In December 2022, the Tate brothers were arrested in Romania, along with two women. In June 2023, all four were charged with rape, human trafficking, and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. In July, two of their accusers reportedly went into hiding after a campaign of online harassment, and the Tate brothers filed a defamation lawsuit, claiming $5 million in damages against one of the accusers.
In March 2024, British police obtained an arrest warrant for the Tate brothers as part of an investigation into rape and human trafficking. In July 2024, they began a civil case against the brothers and a third person for alleged tax evasion. In August, Romanian police raided four properties Tate owns and expanded its investigation to include trafficking minors, sex with a minor, money laundering and attempting to influence witnesses.
