Advocates have warned against the pair's rising tide of influence among young boys and men.

Andrew Tate is known for his aggressive speech about male dominance, female submission and wealth. At one point, he was suspended from major social media platforms.

The brothers, who have dual American and British citizenship, face dozens of new charges added onto previous charges brought by the Crown Prosecution Service after evidence was submitted by Bedfordshire Police, authorities said.

The new charges were brought after officials had investigated reports made by four additional victims in the East England areas of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, police said.

Andrew Tate is also facing a civil suit in the UK, which is being brought by four women who accuse the social media influencer of rape. A spokesperson for Tate previously told CNN that their client  categorically denies these unproven and untested allegations. 

The brothers left Romania after Romanian authorities lifted travel restrictions on them, arriving in Florida in February 2025. Upon their arrival, they found themselves at the heart of another criminal investigation - when Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the probe, led by the Office of Statewide Prosecution.

They had taken aim at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who previously suggested they were not welcome in his state.

 When Americans who are unfairly imprisoned abroad return home you betray them,  Andrew Tate said on X last year.  You better nail me now. Let's go. Arrest me. 

Thomas, the Bedfordshire Police official, said  there is no place for male violence against women and girls. 

 We will continue to work tirelessly to support victims and investigate all reports made to us,  Thomas said.
