Tate Brothers Detained in Romania, Face Extradition and Asset Seizure
March 12, 2024
Influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate were detained in Romania on March 11, 2024, on allegations of sexual aggression in the U.K.
A Romanian court ordered their release on March 12, 2024, but confirmed the U.K.'s extradition request after their Romanian criminal trial.
Andrew Tate's assets, including luxury cars, designer watches, and cash worth approximately 3.6 million euros, were seized by Romanian authorities.
Andrew Tate is facing charges in Romania for rape, human trafficking, and forming a gang to exploit women, in addition to intimidation of alleged victims.
The legal proceedings in Romania are at the preliminary chamber stages with no trial date set, but Andrew will face prosecution in England irrespective of the Romanian case outcome.
The Tate brothers were arrested after Andrew suggested in a livestream he would flee Romania, prompting their law firm to alert British police.
Their notoriety partly stems from collaborations with influencer Adin Ross, promoting an 'alpha male' image, while Andrew has separately been accused of human trafficking and sexual assault in the U.K. dating back to 2012-2015.
