Tate brothers escape to U.S.

Andrew and Tristan Tate - who are facing trial in Romania on charges of rape, trafficking minors and money laundering - have left the country after prosecutors lifted a 2 year travel ban. They left Bucharest on a private jet. They are expected back in Romania in a month. U.K. cops can seize more than £2m from the Tates after they failed to pay tax on £21m of revenue from their online businesses. The dough is held in seven frozen bank accounts. What appeared to be a 'complex financial matrix' was in reality a 'straightforward cheat of the revenue'. Some of the loot was directly linked to their human trafficking. The too intelligent Andrew Tate publicly declared he had not paid tax in the UK, and that his approach was to "ignore, ignore, ignore because in the end they go away". The judge disagreed and £2,683,345 in total, including cryptocurrency, goes to the state.

Andrew Tate is facing more serious allegations in Romania after prosecutors ramped up charges against him. Officials have now changed the charges to the more serious "human trafficking in continued form". Andrew Tate spent months in a Romanian jail before winning an appeal to replace his detention with house arrest. The news comes after Andrew Tate gave an interview to the BBC. "I genuinely am a force for good in the world. You may not understand that yet, but you will eventually. And I genuinely believe I am acting under the instruction of God to do good things, and I want to make the world a better place.”

Luxury cars were seized from Andrew Tate's property in Bucharest. Tate was detained with his brother Tristan as part of an investigation into human trafficking and rape. The Tates had lost a bid to end detention in Romania after a court rejected their appeal.

Tate was removed from British Big Brother after a video showed him attacking a woman.

Born in the US before moving to the UK, Tate went on to a successful career as a kickboxer. Tate then set up a "webcam business", which is a porn site. The Tates also ran an online pyramid scheme called Hustlers University, which claimed to teach people how to make money.
