Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate have reportedly been arrested in Romania for the second time.
Initially arrested in December 2022 and later released in 2023, they face charges related to sex crimes and trafficking. Now, the brothers are being investigated on sexual charges again, with arrest warrants issued by Great Britain.

Andrew and Tristan were arrested on Monday night on charges between 2012 and 2015. Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London issued a European arrest warrant, and the investigation is pending.
The controversial internet stars have since vehemently denied all the allegations leveled against them, and their representatives have vowed to vigorously challenge these allegations.
During their court appearance, Andrew and Tristan were flanked by four police officers, two of whom were in riot gear.
Despite being in close proximity, the siblings avoided interacting with each other and instead chose to confer with their respective legal advisors.
As Sky News reported, the former kickboxing athlete is scheduled to appear at the Bucharest Court of Appeal on Tuesday to determine the execution of the warrant.
Lawyers for the four women who accused Andrew of sexual assault and rape immediately alerted British authorities when they discovered his potential plans to flee Romania.
Matthew Jury, managing partner at McCue Jury and Partners, welcomed Andrew’s concerns, expressing concern about possible evasion of justice in Romania and beyond.
He added, “We are grateful to the British authorities for taking our concerns seriously and issuing an arrest warrant.”
The lawyer went on to urge individuals like Piers Morgan, Tucker Carlson, and others to stop giving Tate a platform, or at least, to question him rigorously about the allegations.
According to Jury, allowing the internet sensation to “spread misinformation” about the criminal charges he faces, not only in the UK but elsewhere, only serves to perpetuate his “toxic influence among vulnerable men and young men” even more.

Prior to these arrests, Andrew and Tristan were charged by police in June 2023 as part of an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation.
They are accused of recruiting at least seven women through social media platforms and luring them to visit their villa on the outskirts of Bucharest.
According to the country’s anti-organized crime agency, the charges were brought before a court in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
As The Blast reported at the time, the Organized Crime and Terrorism Investigation Directorate issued a statement claiming that the disgraced brother, together with two women, formed a criminal group in 2021 with the intention of committing human trafficking crimes.
One of the defendants was also accused of raping a woman on two separate occasions in March 2022.
As expected, Andrew, who has lived in Romania since 2017, vehemently denied the accusations, insisting that the case was a politically motivated conspiracy designed to silence him.
Accuser Andrew Tate Launches Crowdfunding Campaign That Quickly Exceeds Target

As part of their quest for justice, the women who filed the complaint against Andrew and Tristan started a crowdfunding campaign on Crowd Justice.
They quickly surpassed their initial target of £8,000 and gathered support to reach £50,000 for the campaign, which comes with this heartfelt appeal:
“We are three survivors of Andrew Tate’s violent and misogynistic ideology. While in the UK, Tate subjected other women and us to serious and violent sexual and physical assault. Despite facing prosecution in Romania, he has never been held accountable for his crimes in the UK.”
The women also declared their intention to start a move to call for a “criminal investigation in the UK and the continuation of a civil case” against Andrew for “compensation” to help rebuild their lives.

Amidst the ongoing controversy, several insiders have previously claimed that Tristan would not have been involved in the scandal if it weren’t for Andrew.
Explaining the situation, a source suggested that Tristan’s feelings for Andrew went beyond the usual sibling bond, stating:
“[Their] The relationship dynamics are very odd. It was like Tristan was captured by Andrew and believed [or] follow everything Andrew says or does.”
Another insider declared that Tristan modeled his older brother’s personality rather than their father, Emory’s, while a third labeled the younger Tate as Andrew’s “bunny dog.”
