The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has confirmed that British-American influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will face 21 charges in the UK, including rape, actual bodily harm, and human trafficking. The brothers, known for their social media presence, are currently under investigation in Romania and will face extradition to the UK after the domestic proceedings conclude.
Details of the Charges
- Andrew Tate (38): Faces 10 charges connected to three alleged victims, including:
- Rape
- Actual Bodily Harm
- Human Trafficking
- Controlling Prostitution for Gain
- Tristan Tate (36): Faces 11 charges connected to one alleged victim, including:
- Rape
- Actual Bodily Harm
- Human Trafficking
Background
The CPS authorized the charges in 2024, prior to issuing an extradition warrant to bring the brothers back from Romania. The charges are based on a file of evidence submitted by Bedfordshire Police regarding allegations made in the UK. The brothers were first arrested in Romania in December 2022 on suspicion of rape and human trafficking, which they deny.¹
Extradition
The Tate brothers will be extradited to the UK after the conclusion of the Romanian proceedings. The CPS has stated that the domestic criminal matters in Romania must be settled first before the extradition process can proceed.
