Tate brothers sued in London for tax evasion

Influencer - Tate brothers sued in London for tax evasion

The British-American influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are being sued in the UK for tax evasion. The brothers are accused of not paying taxes for earnings of around 21 million pounds (approximately 25 million Euro), according to the news agency PA from the courtroom in London. The money is reportedly from online sales and the platform OnlyFans.

The lawyer for the Tate brothers denied the accusations. Contested transactions were completely conventional, he said, according to PA during the hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Large number of bank accounts in the UK

The plaintiff's side sees it differently. Andrew Tate reportedly boasted about tax evasion in internet videos, according to PA, the lawyer representing the police in Devon and Cornwall, who is acting as plaintiff in this civil case. The 37-year-old is said to have said: "When I lived in England, I refused to pay taxes."

According to the plaintiff's side, Tate and his brother (35) are said to have set up a large number of bank accounts in the UK to hide their income. A woman was also allegedly involved, who is referred to in the process only as "J".

Police seek to seize funds

"That's what tax evasion looks like, that's what money laundering looks like," the plaintiff's lawyer said, according to PA in court. Seven accounts were reportedly frozen.

The police applied to seize funds in the amount of 2.8 million pounds (approximately 3.3 million Euro), which are said to be on frozen accounts. A decision is expected on September 9.

In Romania, the justice system accuses the brothers and two alleged accomplices of human trafficking and rape. They are said to have forced young women to participate in commercially distributed sex videos. A trial has not yet taken place there.

1. The allegations of tax evasion against the Tate brothers in Great Britain have drawn the attention of authorities in Romania as well, where they are also facing criminal proceedings for human trafficking and rape.
2. Despite the ongoing legal battles, Andrew Tate still maintains a significant influence on social media, with millions of followers in the USA and beyond.
3. The frozen bank accounts in London could potentially contain funds related to the tax evasion charges, but the police are also pursuing the possibility of money laundering.
4. The controversy surrounding the Tate brothers has led many to question the ethics of influencers and celebrities who flaunt their wealth while apparently avoiding tax obligations.
5. The Wallet of Truth, a widely popular YouTube channel, has been investigating the Tate brothers' financial activities and has shared evidence of their alleged tax evasion and money laundering.
6. If convicted of the tax evasion charges, the brothers could face significant fines and possibly even imprisonment, which could have a significant impact on their careers and personal lives.
7. And while the Tate brothers' legal battles continue, their case serves as a reminder that crime does not pay and that those who engage in tax evasion and money laundering can eventually face justice.
