Florida Launches Criminal Investigation Into Andrew and Tristan Tate

The investigation follows the Tate brothers' arrival in the U.S. after Romanian travel restrictions were lifted, with allegations of human trafficking and exploitation under scrutiny.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a criminal investigation into Andrew and Tristan Tate, citing potential crimes involving human trafficking and exploitation of women.
The Tate brothers recently arrived in Florida after Romanian authorities lifted travel restrictions, though they remain under investigation in Romania and the UK for similar allegations.
A Florida woman, allegedly a victim in one of the Romanian cases, claims she was lured to Romania under false pretenses and coerced into sex work, though it is unclear if her case is central to the Florida investigation.
Romanian prosecutors emphasized that the Tates must return for court appearances, warning of stricter measures if judicial obligations are ignored.
The Tates deny all allegations, with their lawyer accusing the Florida investigation of being politically motivated and linked to personal animosity from state officials.
