Florida Attorney General Launches Criminal Inquiry Into Tate Brothers
Investigation follows human-trafficking allegations amid their return to Florida.
Florida's Attorney General, James Uthmeier, announced the initiation of a criminal investigation into Andrew and Tristan Tate on Tuesday. The inquiry comes just days after the notorious brothers landed in Fort Lauderdale following the lifting of a travel ban by a Romanian court. The Tates, who have garnered substantial attention for their provocative online personas and controversial perspectives on women, are currently facing human-trafficking charges in both Romania and the UK.
Uthmeier's statement outlined his office's commitment to collaborating with local law enforcement to ensure a thorough preliminary investigation into the allegations against the Tates. He confirmed that subpoenas and warrants have already been issued as part of the investigation. Their arrival in Florida has sparked strong condemnation from local officials, who have made it clear that the brothers are unwelcome in the state.
While the Tate brothers have become well-known for their lavish lifestyle and troubling views, their legal issues have followed them closely since their arrest in Romania in 2022 on accusations related to exploitation and trafficking. In the UK, they are also under scrutiny regarding separate allegations of rape and trafficking. As a result, four British women who previously sued Andrew Tate have called for the UK government to pursue extradition.
As the investigation continues, the scandal surrounding the Tates is evolving, drawing international attention and igniting fierce debates about responsibility, influence, and legality in the digital age.
