Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, and forming an organised crime ring to sexually abuse women in Romania.
According to international media reports, Tristan, his brother, and two associates have all been charged. The charges have been refuted by all of them.
The Tate brothers were detained for the first time in December at their Bucharest residence.
Following a judgement by a Romanian judge in March, they were transferred from detention to house arrest.
According to the indictment filed with the Bucharest court, the four defendants created an organised criminal gang in 2021 to commit human trafficking not only in Romania, but also in other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom.
It cites seven alleged victims, who accused the Tate brothers of luring them in with false promises of love and marriage.
Andrew Tate is accused of raping one of the victims, while his brother is accused of inciting others to violence.
