British-American influencer Andrew Tate has been indicted in Romania on allegations including trafficking minors and money laundering, adding to the legal troubles he has faced in the country.
Romanian prosecutors accuse Tate of involvement in organised criminal activities and exploitation-related offences. He has denied the allegations and has repeatedly maintained that he is innocent.
The indictment means the case can proceed through Romania’s judicial system, although it does not constitute a conviction. Tate remains entitled to defend himself in court as the legal proceedings continue.
The case has attracted international attention because of Tate’s large online following and his controversial public statements. Romanian authorities have been investigating allegations involving Tate and people associated with him for several years.
