Tate's Latest Trouble: Speeding at 121mph in Romania
Controversial influencer Andrew Tate faces legal repercussions after speeding and past allegations deepen.
Andrew Tate has been apprehended for driving at an astounding 196 km/h (121 mph) in a 50 km/h zone in Romania, according to local authorities. The British-American influencer was caught speeding in the village of Bujoreni, approximately 184 km from Bucharest. As a result of this blatant disregard for speed limits, he has been fined £310 ($420) and his driving license has been suspended for 120 days.
The 38-year-old and his brother, Tristan, are already facing severe charges in Romania, including human trafficking and rape, alongside additional allegations in both the UK and US, all of which they deny. While their criminal cases remain ongoing, the brothers are permitted to travel within Romania, albeit under strict conditions imposed by the court.
Tate, who has a penchant for luxury vehicles, has flaunted his impressive collection on social media, often showcasing fast cars like Bugattis and Lamborghinis. His previous encounters with the law for speeding include a 2021 incident in which he was stopped for driving a Porsche at 138 km/h near Bucharest. Romanian authorities seized several of his high-end vehicles in 2023 as part of ongoing legal actions against him.
The influencer has openly criticized how law enforcement operates in the UK, expressing disdain for a system where police do not accept bribes, which he claims is a driving factor behind his move to Romania in 2017. He has made statements suggesting that in Romania, "corruption is accessible to everybody" and posits that a so-called "elite club" of influential individuals can navigate through life’s challenges more easily.
Amid mounting legal troubles, British authorities have stated that the Tate brothers will return to the UK to face 21 separate criminal charges, including serious accusations of rape and human trafficking, once the proceedings in Romania reach their conclusion. Additionally, they are facing a civil suit in the US related to allegations from four women who claim they were coerced into sex work. Despite the mounting pressures, both brothers maintain their innocence regarding all charges brought against them.
