Romanian prosecutors charge Tate brothers with trafficking minors, rape, money laundering

Romanian prosecutors formally charged Andrew Tate with human trafficking of minors, money laundering, sex with a minor, and witness tampering; his brother Tristan faces complicity charges. The charges allege a pattern of luring victims with promises of relationships, then coercing them into pornographic content, with one victim aged 15 in 2010. This is a significant escalation from previous investigations, moving from investigation to formal charges, though the brothers have denied wrongdoing and the case will now proceed to trial.
