  "summary": "Romanian prosecutors have indicted social media influencer Andrew Tate on several charges, including trafficking minors and money laundering. His brother Tristan faces a complicity charge. According to Tempo.co English, the brothers recruited victims by falsely claiming to be seeking a relationship or marriage, then forced them to produce pornographic content for a webcam business.\n\nThe indictment also accuses Andrew Tate of having sex with a minor and tampering with witnesses. One of Andrew Tate's victims was 15 when he seduced her in Britain in 2012, then moved her to Bucharest, where he exercised physical violence and mental intimidation, Tempo.co English reported.\n\nThe Tate brothers, who hold dual US and British citizenship, have been under criminal investigation in Romania since December 2022. They were mainly based in Romania since 2017. The investigation into their activities began several years ago.",
