Romanian prosecutors indicted social media influencer Andrew Tate, 39, on charges of trafficking minors, sex with a minor and money laundering. His brother Tristan Tate, 38, faces a complicity charge, according to DIICOT (Romania's anti-organized crime agency). Prosecutors allege the brothers used a false romantic relationship to coerce a victim into producing pornographic material for an online webcam business. DIICOT further alleges that the brothers recruited a 15-year-old girl in Luton, England, in 2012 and obtained more than $1.2 million from her webcam activity after repeatedly transporting her to Romania. Prosecutors say Tristan knew her age and helped facilitate her sexual exploitation by deceiving her between 2014 and 2021 about Andrew's feelings and intentions. Andrew is also accused of repeatedly having sexual intercourse and sexual acts with another 15-year-old between December 2020 and mid-2021. The agency alleges that between December 2023 and July 2024, the brothers attempted to conceal trafficking proceeds through the purchase of four luxury cars worth about 825,000 euros ($957,000), which it requested be confiscated. The indictment follows arrests in Bucharest in late 2022 and formal indictments in 2023. A court returned that case to DIICOT in 2024 over multiple legal and procedural irregularities, while a separate Romanian case also proceeded that year. The brothers, dual U.S.-British citizens, deny the allegations, and Andrew has alleged a political conspiracy against them. They are currently being held in Miami as they contest a United Kingdom extradition request related to sex-crime allegations. Romanian authorities have allowed them to remain free with restrictions, including reporting to a Bucharest police station, while proceedings continue.
