Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Andrew Tate Indicted In Romania On Trafficking Minors And Money Laundering Charges
Caption: Andrew Tate Indicted In Romania On Trafficking Minors And Money Laundering Charges. Romanian prosecutors have indicted social media influencer Andrew Tate on charges including trafficking minors, money laundering, sex with a minor and witness tampering. His brother Tristan Tate was also indicted for alleged complicity, years after Romanian authorities began investigating the pair. Prosecutors allege the brothers recruited victims by pretending to seek relationships before coercing them into producing pornographic content for a webcam business. The Tate brothers deny all wrongdoing, with their lawyer saying they will challenge any evidential, procedural or legal deficiencies in the indictment. Prosecutors allege one victim was 15 when Andrew Tate seduced her in Britain in 2012 before moving her to Bucharest and sexually exploiting her. Romanian authorities claim the brothers kept around $1.25 million generated by the victim and attempted to launder the money by purchasing four luxury cars. The brothers remain jailed in the U.S. following their July arrest in Miami while a judge considers Britain's request to extradite them over rape charges. The Romanian indictment will now undergo a preliminary judicial review before any trial can begin, with the brothers potentially able to be tried in absentia.
