Internet personality Andrew

Tate faces 11 criminal charges in Britain, including rape,

actual bodily harm and human trafficking, the Crown Prosecution

Service said on Wednesday.



The CPS said it had authorised the charges against Andrew

Tate, which relate to one complainant, before an extradition

warrant was issued in 2024 to bring him to Britain from Romania.



His brother Tristan Tate faces 10 charges, including rape,

actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling

prostitution for gain, relating to three complainants.



The Tates have always denied any wrongdoing. The brothers'

representative declined to comment.



The CPS said in a statement that the courts in Romania,

where the Tates are separately under criminal investigation,

ordered their extradition to Britain last year.



"However, the domestic criminal matters in Romania must be

settled first," a CPS spokesperson said.



The Tates flew to the United States in February after

Romanian prosecutors lifted a travel ban, flying back to Romania

the following month to fulfil legal obligations.



Andrew Tate, a former kickboxer and self-described

misogynist, has gained millions of fans by promoting an

ultra-masculine lifestyle.



He separately faces a civil



lawsuit in Britain



, which has been brought by four women and is due to go to

trial in 2027.
