UK prosecutors have authorized 21 charges against brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, including rape, human trafficking, and actual bodily harm. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed that these charges relate to allegations made in the UK between 2012 and 2015. The decision follows an investigation by Bedfordshire Police and comes after the brothers’ extradition from Romania.
Andrew Tate, a former kickboxer and social media personality, faces 10 charges connected to three alleged victims. His brother Tristan faces 11 charges related to one alleged victim. Both brothers deny all allegations and have stated that they are “innocent men.”
The CPS’s decision to authorize these charges marks a significant development in the case, which has attracted widespread media attention. The brothers’ legal representatives have indicated they will vigorously contest the charges in court.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the case continues to garner public and media interest, reflecting broader concerns about online conduct and accountability.
