Andrew Tate and brother Tristan arrive at court after rape and human trafficking charges

Andrew Tate arrived at court in Bucharest on Wednesday 21 June after being charged with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to exploit women.

Romania’s anti-organized crime agency said that prosecutors also charged Tate’s brother, Tristan, and two Romanian women.

All four were initially detained in December.

Andrew Tate is a former professional kickboxer with millions of Twitter followers, and he is known for projecting a luxury lifestyle and expressing misogynistic views on social media.

The Romanian agency said the defendants were accused of forming a criminal group in 2021 “to commit the crime of human trafficking” in Romania, the US and Britain.
