A court in Bucharest, Romania, has approved the trial of Andrew Tate, a social media influencer charged with human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. Tate and his brother were first charged almost 10 months ago and can appeal the court's decision. The brothers, who hold dual US and British citizenship, were arrested near the Romanian capital in December 2022. The Bucharest Tribunal found the prosecutors' case file against Tate met legal criteria but did not set a trial date.
A court in Romania's capital denied online influencer Andrew Tate's request to return assets seized in a human trafficking, rape, and criminal gang case. The Bucharest Tribunal ruled in favor of keeping the assets seized by Romania's anti-organized crime agency. Tate, a former professional kickboxer, and his brother were arrested in December 2022 with two Romanian women. Authorities seized luxury cars, designer watches, and cash in various currencies estimated at 3.6 million euros. More than 10 properties and land owned by the Tate brothers were also identified as potentially gained through illicit activities.
Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were detained in Romania and may be extradited to the UK on rape and human trafficking charges. Livestreamer Adin Ross's broadcast allegedly triggered Tate's detainment, but Tate's representative denies plans to flee. Both brothers deny all allegations. The UK police's delayed handling of previous rape complaints allowed Tate to move to Romania and face additional charges. Tate's influential social media presence has led to educational initiatives aiming to counter his impact.
Social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been arrested in Romania on charges of sexual aggression dating back to between 2012 and 2015. They were detained following a European arrest warrant issued by Westminster Magistrates' Court in London. The brothers deny all allegations and are set to appear in the Bucharest Court of Appeal for a decision on executing the warrant. Tate faces accusations of rape and sexual assault, with their lawyer urging media personalities to refrain from giving him a platform to spread misinformation.
Three women who had made sex allegations against controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan in Romania have dropped their complaint, MailOnline can reveal. One woman was removed from the case last month and another two asked to be 'declassified' as victims at a behind closed doors hearing in the Romanian capital of Bucharest on Friday morning. It means that of seven women who originally made the accusations of rape and human trafficking only three remain and judges will now have to decide how to proceed with the case. Self-confessed misogynist Tate, who revels in his rants against women, and his brother were originally arrested by Romanian police late in 2022 and held in custody for several months before being released. Investigators claim the two men - who have dual UK and US citizenship - formed a criminal gang with two women to sexually exploit and human traffic other women but all deny the charges.
Andrew and Tristan Tate, aged 37 and 35, lost their legal bid to reclaim assets worth 10 million, including 15 luxury cars, seized by UK authorities. The brothers face extradition to the UK from Romania where they are accused of 21 counts of rape and sexual assault between 2012 and 2015. Investigations are ongoing regarding human trafficking, rape, and organized crime allegations. The Bucharest Court of Appeal overturned a previous decision denying the return of the seized assets.
Emory Andrew Tate III (born 1 December 1986) is an American-British social media personality, businessman, and former professional kickboxer. His contentious commentary has resulted in expulsions from various social media platforms and concern from advocacy groups, parents, teachers, and counter-terror police. Surveys have found that most British people are aware of Tate, who's views are popular mostly among young males, and is regarded as influential; he has been dubbed the "king of toxic masculinity", as part of the manosphere. He is also associated with right-wing and far-right ideologies, and has described himself as "absolutely" misogynistic and sexist.In 2016, he appeared on the British reality series Big Brother, but was removed as he was the suspect in an open rape investigation in the United Kingdom. After his kickboxing career, Tate and his brother, Tristan, began operating a webcam model business, followed by selling online courses. The latter includes: Hustler's University, which gained 100,000 subscribers, later rebranded to The Real World; and the secretive War Room group, which has been accused by the BBC of coercing women into sex work, and teaching violence against women. In August 2023, it was estimated that Tate's online ventures generated US$5 million in revenue per month. As of December 2023, Tate had over 8.5 million followers on X (formerly Twitter) and was the third-most googled person in 2023.In December 2022, Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in Romania along with two women. All four were later charged with rape, human trafficking, and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. Tate and his brother deny all charges. Romanian police alleged that the group coerced victims into creating paid pornography in a criminal operation. In July 2023, two of the accusers reportedly went into hiding after a campaign of online harassment, and the Tate brothers filed a defamation lawsuit claiming US$5 million in damages against one of the accusers. In March 2024, UK authorities issued an arrest warrant for Tate and his brother over allegations of sexual aggression dating to 2012–2015.
The two Romanian People's Tribunals (Romanian: Tribunalele Poporului), the Bucharest People's Tribunal and the Northern Transylvania People's Tribunal (which sat in Cluj) were set up by the post-World War II government of Romania, overseen by the Allied Control Commission to try suspected war criminals, in line with Article 14 of the Armistice Agreement with Romania which said: "The Romanian Government and High Command undertake to collaborate with the Allied (Soviet) High Command in the apprehension and trial of persons accused of war crimes".Some 2,700 cases were examined by a commission which found that in about half the cases there was enough evidence to bring prosecutions. 668 were found guilty of war crimes, crimes against peace and crimes against humanity.The Bucharest Tribunal sentenced a total of 187 people. At the main trial, in May 1946, of the leaders of the former Fascist government of Ion Antonescu, twenty four defendants stood before the Tribunal. The court handed down 13 death sentences, but six were pronounced in absentia and never carried out. Of the remaining seven death sentences, 3 were commuted to life imprisonment. Ion Antonescu, Mihai Antonescu, Constantin Z. Vasiliu, and Gheorghe Alexianu were executed on June 1, 1946 at Jilava Prison. The other defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment, or long terms of imprisonment.The Cluj Tribunal and it successors sentenced 481 people: 370 were Hungarian, 83 were German, 26 were Romanian, and 2 were Jewish. The Cluj Tribunal passed a total of 100 death sentences (none carried out), 163 sentences of life imprisonment, and a range of other sentences. A high percentage of those condemned to death (including Hungarian writer Albert Wass) were tried in absentia and their sentences were never carried out. Others sentenced to death had their sentences commuted to life imprisonment. Those convicted of war crimes, who had demonstrated good behaviour in prison were eligible for immediate release under a decree issued in 1950. Quite a few convicted war criminals were released under the provisions of this decree. The rest were released between 1962 and 1964 when a number of amnesties were granted.
Emory Andrew Tate Jr. (December 27, 1958 – October 17, 2015) was an American chess international master. He was the father of the Internet personalities Andrew and Tristan Tate.
