Legal affairs of the Tate brothers
The British and American social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, have both been involved in a number of criminal and civil legal affairs in relation to their joint business and personal activities. As of October 2025 they are facing six legal investigations—four criminal and two civil—in Romania, the United Kingdom and the United States. In response, they filed two lawsuits against their accusers in the US. Andrew also faces an additional civil case in the UK. The brothers have denied all charges and allegations.
In December 2022 the brothers were arrested in Romania along with two women. In June 2023 all four were charged with rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. In July two of their accusers reportedly went into hiding after a campaign of online harassment, and the brothers filed a defamation lawsuit, claiming US$5 million in damages against one of the accusers.
In March 2024 British police obtained an arrest warrant for the brothers, and in May 2025, the Crown Prosecution Service brought 21 charges against the Tates, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking. In July 2024 a civil case in the UK began against the brothers and a third person for alleged tax evasion. A month later, Romanian police raided four properties Andrew owns and expanded its investigation to include trafficking minors, sex with a minor, money laundering and attempting to influence a witness.
On 11 April 2022 the US embassy received a report that an American citizen was being held against her will in a property the brothers own in Pipera, Romania. Romanian police raided the home and a nearby webcam studio belonging to the Tates, where they discovered four women. Two of them, the American and another Romanian woman, told the police they were being held against their will, sparking an in-rem investigation into human trafficking and rape by the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT). The brothers were interrogated and released. At the time, they were heard as witnesses rather than suspects.
On 29 December 2022 the police arrested the brothers and two women. All four are suspected of human trafficking and forming an organised crime group, and one of them (unidentified, per Romanian law) is suspected of rape. DIICOT accuses the Tates of having recruited women through the "loverboy" method—which consists of misrepresenting one's intention to commit to a romantic relationship—and forcing them to create explicit content for websites like OnlyFans as part of an organised crime group the Tates are alleged to have formed in early 2021. DIICOT identified six potential victims.

Social media rumours attributed Andrew's arrest to pizza boxes from the Romanian restaurant chain Jerry's Pizza shown in a video addressed to Greta Thunberg replying to a tweet she had made at his expense. These rumours were denied by Romanian authorities; a spokesman for DIICOT described the rumours as "funny" but untrue.
