Controversial social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate are now facing a criminal investigation in the United States. The Tate brothers, who are dual US-British citizens, are accused of operating a criminal ring that exploited women in Romania. The brothers command a large following on social media, but have been banned from platforms for hate speech and misogynistic rhetoric.
Romanian authorities arrested the Tate brothers in 2022 and they were indicted on sex trafficking charges last year. British authorities are also seeking their arrest on charges of rape and human trafficking. The Tate brothers deny all allegations against them.
After Romanian authorities lifted a travel ban against the Tates, they returned to the US, where Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said they were not welcome in the state. DeSantis called for a criminal investigation into the brothers, leading to the launch of a preliminary inquiry by the Florida Attorney General’s office.
The Tate brothers have accused DeSantis of caving to media pressure and maintain their innocence, stating that they have not been tried or convicted of any crime. The controversy surrounding the Tate brothers has brought attention to the issue of social media influencers behaving poorly and the need for legal action to hold them accountable for their actions.
