Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are facing serious legal trouble in the U.K. after prosecutors confirmed that the controversial social media personalities will face a total of 21 charges, including rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking, and controlling prostitution for gain, once they are extradited from Romania.
The Crown Prosecution Service revealed it authorized the charges in 2024 following an investigation by Bedfordshire Police, but Romanian authorities say their ongoing criminal cases there must be resolved first, so the U.K. will have to wait.
Andrew, 38, a former kickboxer turned influencer, is linked to 10 charges involving three alleged victims, while younger brother Tristan, 36, faces 11 charges connected to one alleged victim.

The duo, who hold dual British-American citizenship, were first arrested in Romania back in December 2022. The popular streamers deny all allegations against them but have spent months under house arrest.
In August 2024, Romanian prosecutors announced new claims, including sex with a minor and trafficking underage individuals.
In March 2024, the brothers were detained in Bucharest after a warrant was issued by U.K. police related to the fresh allegations.
