A plethora of charges have been authorized against the controversial internet personality, Andrew Tate by the U.K. Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). The charges include rape, actual bodily harm, and human trafficking among other things.
Tate is currently facing similar charges in Romania and was held in prison three months before being placed under house arrest for another five in 2023. Until this year Tate and his brother Tristan had been prevented from leaving Romania by the authorities while the investigation was underway. However Andrew and Tristan were allowed to leave Romania after U.S. officials asked for the travel ban to be lifted.
The new charges against Andrew Tate
A total of 10 charges were authorized against Tate. The charges relate to three complaints and were authorized before an extradition warrant was issued last year according to Reuters. The warrant would have brought the Tates to Britain from Romania to face the charges there. Tristan also faces 11 charges which include much of the same as his brother. It’s currently unclear when the Tates will stand trial for the new charges.
The CPS explained that “the domestic criminal matters in Romania must be settled first,” before the brothers can be extradited to the U.K. The Romanian court has stated that Tate’s trial can go ahead but a court date has yet to be set. The Tates returned to the country in March with Andrew telling reporters, “innocent men don’t run from anything.”

Tate has since responded to the new allegations with a video in which he claimed the U.K. government is trying to silence him. It’s pretty much the standard Tate denial: accuse his accusers of being involved in some great conspiracy against him.
The internet responds
Many celebrated the news that more charges were being brought against the brothers. One excited individual posted to X claiming that the world is healing.

Of course, it’s important to remember that these charges don’t mean the brothers are locked up, at least not yet. It’s likely going to be a long time before we see them on trial, but to many, the Tate brothers are despicable people who have evaded the law for too long, these new charges signify a move in the right direction.
There are also plenty out there who are passionately defending Andrew and Tristan Tate. Many believe that the pair are innocent and that these new charges are just another ploy to silence the brothers. Some erroneously claimed that the Tates had beaten the Romania charges and that U.K. charges were another attempt to silence him.
Andrew and Tristan Tate beat their Romanian case because they were innocent.

All of a sudden new “UK charges ”
If you believe any of it, you are low IQ.

It’s possible the travel ban being lifted earlier this year gave Tate followers the impression he and his brother were innocent, but that isn’t true. As previously mentioned, the trial in Romania has yet to go ahead, the investigation is ongoing and Andrew and Tristan haven’t beaten anything.
