According to CNN, on Tuesday, online influencer Andrew Tate, his brother Tristan, and two Romanian citizens were indicted on charges of human trafficking, rape, and setting up a criminal gang, as announced by Romanian prosecutors. The accusations involve the abuse of seven women, although all the suspects have denied the charges. The Tate brothers, along with the two Romanian female suspects, have been placed under house arrest while the criminal investigation is ongoing.
Andrew Tate, known for his controversial online persona, was initially arrested in Bucharest, Romania in December 2022. He and his brother were held in police custody until March before being placed under house arrest. Andrew Tate has also been charged with rape, while Tristan has been charged with instigating others to commit acts of violence.
The Tate brothers are scheduled to appear in a Bucharest Court on Wednesday morning, where their preventive measures or house arrest will be discussed, and a trial date will be set. According to Romanian law, the case will be sent to the court’s preliminary chamber, where a judge has 60 days to review the case files and ensure legal compliance.
Prosecutors allege that the Tate brothers recruited their victims by seducing them and falsely promising relationships or marriages. The legal team representing the Tate brothers has expressed their intention to fight in court and present arguments and evidence to prove their innocence. They anticipate the judge’s communication of the indictment to the defense team or the setting of a deadline for communicating the indictment by post during the upcoming hearing. At the same hearing, the judge will also consider the necessity of imposing preventive measures against the defendants.
