Tue 12 March 2024:

Social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been arrested in Romania over allegations of sexual aggression.

The brothers were detained on Monday night on charges that date back to between 2012 and 2015.

They were handed a European arrest warrant issued by Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London – and an investigation is pending.

Andrew Tate, 37, and Tristan, 35, “categorically reject all charges”, their representative said.

The men remain in custody.

Romanian Police said two arrest warrants were issued by British authorities for exploiting people in the UK.

A representative for the Tate brothers before the hearing described the arrest warrant as a “bewildering revival of decade-old accusations” leaving the brothers “dismayed and deeply troubled”.

“They categorically reject all charges and express profound disappointment that such serious allegations are being resurrected without substantial new evidence,” the statement said.

“They are fully committed to challenging these accusations with unwavering determination and resolve.”

Their representatives claim the allegations cover 2012 to 2015.

Following the hearing, the brothers’ lawyer Eugen Vidineac told reporters he knew little information regarding the warrant and did not know if new evidence was provided by the authorities.

In court on Tuesday, the Tate brothers said they do not want to be returned to the UK, according to a reporter for CNN’s affiliate Antena three, attending a hearing at the Bucharest Court of Appeals.

“When I was falsely accused for the first time years ago, I didn’t understand how my life could be destroyed so much,” Andrew Tate told the judge, according to Antena 3.
