Romanian Court Rejects Andrew Tate's Appeal to Regain Seized Assets Worth €3.6M Amid Human Trafficking, Rape, and Criminal Charges

Romanian Court Rejects Andrew Tate's Appeal to Regain Seized Assets Worth €3.6M Amid Human Trafficking, Rape, and Criminal Charges

A Romanian court denied online influencer Andrew Tate's request to return seized assets related to human trafficking, rape, and criminal gang charges.
The Bucharest Tribunal ruled that all assets, including luxury cars, watches, and cash, will remain with Romania's anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT.

Tate had previously won an appeal against the asset seizures, leading to a retrial.

He and his brother Tristan Tate, along with two Romanian women, were arrested in December 2022 and formally indicted in June 2022.

All four have denied the allegations.

A group of luxury cars worth approximately 3.6 million euros ($3.9 million) was seized by Romanian authorities, including a Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Aston Martin, and Mercedes-Benz.

The Tate brothers, owners of these vehicles, have been under investigation for potential illicit activities.

Authorities have identified over 10 properties and lands owned by the brothers' companies, which could be used to fund investigations and compensate victims if the authorities can prove they were gained through illegal means.

Andrew Tate, one of the brothers, has denied any wrongdoing and claimed there is a political conspiracy against him.

He has previously been banned from various social media platforms for expressing misogynistic views and hate speech.

The seizure of the cars occurred a week after the Tate brothers appeared in court for a separate case.

The British authorities have issued arrest warrants against the Tates for alleged sexual aggression in a case from 2012-2015.

The court in Romania has granted extradition but only after legal proceedings in Romania have been completed.

The trial date has not been set, and the Romanian case is still in the preliminary stages.

Last week, the Bucharest Tribunal extended the Tates' geographical restrictions, preventing them from leaving the country for 60 more days.
