**UK Authorizes Legal Charges Against Influencer Andrew Tate and Brother Tristan**
British authorities have approved serious criminal charges against Tate brothers, including allegations of rape and human trafficking.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has officially authorized charges against Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, encompassing serious offenses such as rape, human trafficking, and assault. This decision, made public on May 28, 2025, follows a lengthy investigation and the previous authorization of European Arrest Warrants for the brothers back in January 2024.
The CPS revealed that a total of 21 charges have been filed against the duo, with both brothers holding dual British and American citizenship. Andrew Tate faces ten charges, which include rape, bodily harm, human trafficking, and controlling prostitution for profit, stemming from allegations made by three women. Meanwhile, his brother Tristan faces eleven charges, including rape and related offenses connected to one of the accusers.
Both brothers have previously denied all allegations. Their attorney, Joseph McBride, dismissed the new developments as "old news," asserting that nothing has changed. The identities of the accusers are protected under a law providing anonymity for those making sexual offense reports, ensuring their privacy throughout legal proceedings.
These new charges emerged after local police provided a substantial evidence file to the CPS. The extradition process to the UK for the Tate brothers is contingent upon the conclusion of ongoing legal matters in Romania, where they are currently facing additional criminal inquiries.
Furthermore, Andrew Tate is also dealing with a separate civil lawsuit filed by four British women in the High Court, adding another layer to the unfolding story. In comments made earlier, Tate’s representatives insisted he would defend himself vigorously against the accusations. As this case continues to develop, the ramifications for the Tates and their online influence remain significant.
