Court rules Police can seize over £2 Million from Tate Brothers

After the Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan failed to pay taxes on £21 million in sales from their online enterprises, a judge decided that police might confiscate more than £2 million from them.
According to report, the brothers and a third party, known as J, were the targets of Devon and Cornwall Police’s attempt to seize the money, which was kept in seven frozen bank accounts.
What seemed to be a “complex financial matrix” was shown to be a “straightforward cheat of the revenue” by the chief magistrate at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
Report disclosed that the contentious influencers are presently in Romania, where they are being prosecuted for rape and people trafficking.
The brothers had deposited just under $12 million into an account in J’s name, the court had previously heard.
Even though she had no involvement in their online ventures, which include OnlyFans, Hustlers’ University, Cobra Tate, and the War Room, they had also registered a second account in her name.
A portion of the funds kept in J’s name were cryptocurrencies.
The attorneys for Devon and Cornwall Police informed the court that Andrew Tate had been using the strategy of “ignore, ignore, ignore because in the end they go away” after he openly stated that he had not paid taxes in the UK.
Judge Paul Goldspring, who ruled in favor of the police force, stated that although the brothers had not provided the court with any proof of tax payments, they had maintained through their attorneys that the transfer of the funds had been a lawful commercial transaction.
The total amount that the force can confiscate, including cryptocurrencies, is £2,683,345.
The brothers’ most recent legal setback is the loss of the money, report says.
Andrew Tate was accused by Romanian prosecutors in June of last year of rape, human trafficking, and gang formation.
According to Romanian officials, Tristan Tate is accused of human trafficking, and the case concerns seven alleged victims who were lured in with promises of marriage and love.
In a separate case, Bedfordshire Police are requesting that the men be extradited to the UK on charges of human trafficking and rape.
According to a Bucharest judge, the extradition request would be considered following the Romanian case‘s resolution.
About the Tate Brothers…
According to source, the Tate Brothers, Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate, are British-American social media influencers and former professional kickboxers who have garnered significant attention and controversy in recent years.
Andrew Tate, was born on December 1, 1987, in Washington, D.C.
He is the more famous of the two.

Andrew is known for promoting a lifestyle centered around wealth, power, and masculinity.
He advocates for a self-improvement mindset, often sharing his beliefs on entrepreneurship, fitness, and seduction through social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter.
However, his views and comments, particularly about women and gender roles, have led to widespread criticism and accusations of misogyny.
Reports has it that he was banned from various social media platforms due to breaches of their policies related to hate speech and harassment.
On the other hand, Tristan Tate, was born on July 15, 1988.
He reportedly shares many of his brother’s views and has also made a name for himself through his involvement in the same lifestyle and business ventures.
While not as prominently featured as Andrew, Tristan supports and amplifies many of the same messages about masculinity and success.
The brothers run various businesses together, including a controversial online platform called “Hustler’s University”, aimed at teaching people about financial independence and wealth accumulation.
The Tates’ notoriety escalated dramatically in April 2022 when they were arrested in Romania on charges of human trafficking and rape, which they have denied.
Their arrest stemmed from allegations of forming an organized crime group that exploited women by coercing them into creating pornography.
This legal situation has fueled even more debate around their influence and the implications of their online messages, according to reports.
Despite this, Andrew and Tristan Tate have cultivated a loyal following, especially among young men drawn to their narratives of success and self-empowerment.
Their polarizing presence continues to exist at the intersection of social media influence, entrepreneurship, and discussions on modern masculinity.
The Tate Brothers remain a topic of heated discussion regarding the implications of their rhetoric and actions in the digital age.
