Romania prosecutors indict Andrew Tate for trafficking minors

The social media influencer has also been indicted for money laundering and sex with a minor. His brother Tristan has been indicted for complicity.

Romanian prosecutors have formally charged former social media star Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan with trafficking minors, money laundering, having sex with a minor, and attempting to intimidate a witness. The indictment comes years after an investigation into the brothers' activities began. Both brothers, who are dual US and British citizens, were arrested in Miami in late July on a request for their extradition from the United States.

Andrew Tate, known as a prominent figure in the manosphere, a male-focused online movement with strong anti-feminist views, faces the most serious charges. His brother Tristan has been charged with complicity in the alleged crimes.
