Florida's Attorney General Launches Investigation into Tate Brothers Amid Human-Trafficking Allegations
Criminal inquiry follows arrival of Andrew and Tristan Tate in Florida after lifting of Romanian travel bans.
Last week, the brothers touched down in Fort Lauderdale after a Romanian court lifted their travel restrictions, which had kept them from leaving the country for two years following an arrest on serious allegations. Uthmeier announced on Tuesday that his office has begun a preliminary inquiry into the Tates, who are notorious online figures with millions of followers known for their controversial views and extravagant lifestyle.
The Attorney General confirmed in a press statement that his office has already executed subpoenas and warrants in connection with the case. In parallel, authorities in Britain have also targeted the brothers, seeking their extradition after four women accused them of rape. Despite being greeted at the airport in a private jet last Thursday, Florida officials emphasized that Andrew and Tristan Tate are not welcome in the state amid the ongoing scrutiny surrounding them.
