British brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, who are under house arrest, are the subject of new allegations by DIICOT prosecutors who say some of the sexually exploited girls were allegedly beaten by one of Tristan Tate’s relatives, who allegedly ordered the punishment.

Romanian prosecutors said Tuesday they are investigating online personality Tristan Tate on an additional charge of inciting others to violence in a case in which he and his more famous brother Andrew are accused of sexually exploiting women.

DIICOT notified Tristan Tate on Monday that an additional charge of inciting violence had been filed against him, DIICOT spokeswoman Ramona Bolla told Reuters.

DIICOT made the allegations after receiving new abuse complaints from girls who say they were repeatedly beaten by an associate of the Tate brothers and that Tristan Tate ordered the attacks.

Tristan Tate claims on Twitter that prosecutors are bringing new charges without evidence.

At the end of March, the Court of Appeal in Bucharest decided that British brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate could no longer be kept in pretrial detention and ordered them to be placed under house arrest. Both were released from the custody of the capital police after three months of preventive detention.

Arrested late last year

The Tate brothers were detained and later arrested following five raids on December 29 in Bucharest and Ilfov County at homes owned by them and their two accomplices. Later, at the beginning of January, 7 more searches took place in Bucharest, Ilfov and Prahov in the case in which they are being investigated.

According to DIICOT, the Tate brothers (of British nationality) and two young women, Georgiana Manuela Nagel and Alexandra-Luana Radu, formed an organized crime group for the purpose of recruitment, placement and exploitation, forcing some of the women to create materials of pornographic content intended for distribution on payment on profile sites. He would have received considerable sums of money from this activity.

Investigators say the Tate brothers recruited young women under the pretense of a romantic relationship, then took them to a house in Ilfow County where they forced them to film videos that were posted on adult websites.

The two brothers misled the young women that they wanted marriage/cohabitation and that they would feel true love for them (the “lover” method).

The women were allegedly later transported and placed in a building in Ilfov county where, through acts of physical violence and psychological coercion (intimidation, constant surveillance, control and collection of alleged debts), they were sexually exploited by members of the group by forcing them to perform pornographic manifestations for the purpose of production and distribution through social networking platforms of materials of this nature and by coercive subordination of the performance of work in order to obtain important financial benefits consisting of monetary sums as a result of users’ access to materials.

The victims told investigators that a video chat studio had been set up at the villa in Ilfov County and that they were met by armed guards upon arrival. At the same time, they would be forced to get a tattoo saying “belongs to Tate”.

So far, six victims have been identified who were sexually exploited by a group led by two British brothers.

During the investigation, DIICOT prosecutors seized several assets belonging to the Tate brothers in Romania, namely real estate and luxury cars.
