[UK prosecutors say 21 charges authorised
against Tate brothers]


[Prosecutors in the UK have confirmed
for the first time they have authorised
21 charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate,
including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.

The Crown Prosecution Service said that
it had authorised the charges against
the brothers in 2024, before an extradition
warrant was issued to bring them back from Romania.

The two British-Americans are under investigation
in Romania, facing a number of charges,
which they deny - and the CPS said
"the domestic criminal matters in Romania
must be settled first."

The CPS's charging decision came after
it received a file of evidence from
Bedfordshire Police about allegations
made in the UK.

The CPS said Andrew Tate,
a 38-year-old influencer and former kickboxer,
faces 10 charges connected to three alleged
victims, including rape, actual bodily harm,
human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain.]
