Social media influencer Andrew Tate and three others have been charged with human trafficking in Romania, denying the allegations. They allegedly forced seven women to create pornographic content for social media.
To inform them of the new charges, all four suspects were summoned to the organized crime unit’s headquarters in Romania on June 12. Human trafficking is punishable in Romania by a maximum 10-year prison term.
“They were forced to tattoo the name or face of the group member exploiting them,” prosecutors said in a statement. “This was done to ensure the victims’ loyalty and that they will perform only to the benefit of the members of the group.” Early in June, Mr. Tate denied encouraging misogyny in a BBC News interview and defended his reputation.He also denied the testimony of specific women who have accused him of rape and exploitation and are a part of the ongoing investigation.
