Romania-Insider.com · back to the audit

Prosecutors from Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism, or DIICOT, announced on Friday, July 3, that they have expanded the investigation into brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate with new charges. The announcement comes after another expansion of the case, made public by DIICOT last month, regarding money laundering and human trafficking. In total, in addition to the accusations of human trafficking and rape, which formed the basis of the 2024 case, prosecutors have added money laundering, influencing statements, removal from seizure, and complicity in the trafficking of minors to the list of offenses. By exploiting the victim, the two allegedly obtained USD 1.53 million. DIICOT stated that it has placed a seizure on five luxury vehicles belonging to the two brothers.
