Detained for Questioning

The Tate brothers were detained in Romania as part of an investigation into new allegations of human trafficking and sex with a minor.

New Criminal Charges

DIICOT announced the new probe related to the alleged trafficking of minors, human trafficking, sexual intercourse with a minor, influencing statements, and money laundering.

Controversial Lifestyle

The Tate brothers have attracted millions of followers on social media by promoting a lifestyle that critics say glorifies misogyny.

Denial of Existing Charges

The brothers have denied the existing charges against them, including human trafficking and rape.

Accusations and Defiance

Andrew Tate has accused unnamed figures of using a "tried and true playbook" against him and others who speak out against the establishment.

Travel Ban

A court in Bucharest has banned the Tates from leaving Romania as they await their trafficking trial.

Trial to Proceed

A court in April ruled that the trial against the brothers and two Romanian female suspects could proceed.

Ongoing Investigation

The investigation into the Tate brothers continues as they face serious allegations.
