1/ 🧵 Andrew & Tristan Tate Case: A Recap

On Tuesday, Andrew & Tristan Tate appeared at DIICOT, where prosecutors extended their judicial control for another 60 days. Here’s where things stand in their ongoing legal battles. 👇

/ The Tate brothers are under investigation in two separate DIICOT cases in Romania. Charges include:
🔹 Human trafficking
🔹 Trafficking of a minor
🔹 Sexual exploitation
🔹 Forming an organized crime group

🔹Andrew Tate – rape
🔹 Andrew Tate – sex with a minor
🔹 Tristan Tate – incitement to violence
🔹 Money laundering

3/ Judicial control extended—what does it mean?
For the next 60 days, prosecutors can either:
🔸 Modify the control conditions
🔸 Extend the measure again after the period expires
🔸 Request a stricter measure (like house arrest or pre-trial detention)

4/ Despite these restrictions, DIICOT lifted their travel ban in February, allowing them to visit Florida.

5/ Allegations against them:
Prosecutors claim the Tates, along with two other accomplice’s , recruited 34 women and forced them to create explicit content for paid platforms.

6/ Alleged financial gains from exploitation:
💰 $2.8 million
💰 887,000 crypto tokens (DIICOT has not disclosed their exact value)

7/ Prosecutors say the Tates & their associates transported & housed victims, kept them under surveillance, and forced them to produce online adult content for profit.

8/ International investigations:

In the UK, the Tates are being investigated for rape & human trafficking. A court has already seized over £2 million from them for tax evasion.

9/ In the US, Andrew Tate, a hugely successful social media influencer known for expressing misogynistic views online, is facing a new lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend accusing him of sexual assault and battery.
