UK prosecutors say 21 charges authorised against Tate brothers

Source: BBC

Prosecutors in the UK have confirmed for the first time they have authorised 21 charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.

The Crown Prosecution Service said that it had authorised the charges against the brothers in 2024, before an extradition warrant was issued to bring them back from Romania.

The two British-Americans are under investigation in Romania, facing a number of charges, which they deny - and the CPS said "the domestic criminal matters in Romania must be settled first."

The CPS's charging decision came after it received a file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police about allegations made in the UK.

They still face charges there, though they're not being held on remand, I think.

except for MAGA boosters who helped Trump win the election. So I doubt these guys will be extradited to face justice for their crimes.

According to the FT, Grenell said he had no "substantive conversation" with Hurezeanu, but added: "I support the Tate brothers as evident by my publicly available tweets."

The Tates have also been talked about by several people in Trump's orbit, including Donald Trump Jr and Elon Musk.

Trump Jr once called Tate's detention in Romania "absolute insanity".

Musk reinstated Andrew Tate's account, which had been banned on X, and suggested, perhaps in jest, that Tate would make a good UK prime minister.
