Controversial influencer Andrew Tate had millions of pounds laundered through British bank accounts run by a woman linked to an ex-girlfriend, according to court documents. Tate, 38, and his younger brother Tristan, 36, are said to have used the money to fund their lavish lifestyle of which they boast on social media, including mansions in Romania and supercars.
Both courses are aimed at young men and allegedly teach them how to manipulate women into sex work. It comes after Devon and Cornwall Police launched a civil court case in which they successfully obtained a series of asset forfeiture orders last month. The two brothers are at the centre of two Romanian police investigations over alleged sex trafficking, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering. Both strongly deny the charges. Controversial influencer Andrew Tate had millions of pounds laundered through British bank accounts run by a woman linked to an ex-girlfriend.
Last week, Tate's spokesman revealed that the influencer had been released from house arrest for the first time in five months on Tuesday. The brothers and four other suspects were put under house arrest when prosecutors launched the second criminal investigation. A first, separate case was sent back to prosecutors by the Court of Appeals in Bucharest for the second time in December, saying it could not proceed in its current form. In that case, the brothers were accused of human trafficking and forming an organised group to sexually exploit women.
They deny these claims too, as well as those of rape and human trafficking that have been made against them in the UK. Although Tate is no longer under house arrest, he is still subject to travel restrictions. He also faces a legal battle with Northern Ireland MP Sorcha Eastwood, whose lawyers announced they would be launching proceedings against the Tate brothers over offensive social media posts.
