Andrew Tate blamed the victims he forced to video chat: „Women use the judicial system to punish men. They are jealous women who have only known to ask me for shopping money”

Andrew Tate made misogynistic statements to the victims, as can be seen from the document that the prosecutors of the Directorate for the Investigation of Crimes of Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) presented to the judges to support their proposal to extend the measure of preventive detention.

The phenomenon of human trafficking is commonplace and routine for the defendants in the Tate brothers’ case, law enforcement officials say in the Report with the proposal to extend the preventive detention measure.

The judges at the Bucharest Court decided, on Friday, that the preventive arrest measure that was taken against the brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate should be extended by another 30 days. In fact, the same decision was made in the case of the former policewoman and the other woman arrested in the millionaires’ case.

„They did not give statements or continued to blame the victims, as is the case of the defendant Tate III Emory Andrew who further claimed that „Women understand to use the judicial system to punish men and I believe that these statements against me are given by these statements against me are given by these women who are jealous, who knew nothing else but to ask me for money to go shopping,” the DIICOT report states.

According to the law enforcement officers, the attitude appeared in the context in which all the injured persons in the file asked this defendant for attention and affection, a request which was obviously conditioned by him on the performance by the victims of activities that would bring him income, this being also the case for his brother, Tristan Tate.

„It is no less true that the activities carried out by these two defendants could not have been carried out without the essential involvement of the defendants Naghel Georgiana Manuela and Radu Alexandra Luana (former policewoman) who acted as true guardians of the interests of the defendants Tristan Tate and Tate III Emory Andrew and in turn carried out acts of violence against the victims, completing the mechanism of destruction of the victims”, the report states.

The prosecutors claim that from the evidentiary material administered in the case, there is clear evidence that the defendants Tate III Emory Andrew, Tate Tristan, Naghel Georgiana Manuela and Radu Alexandra sexually exploited the victims by forcing them to do some work, after initially recruiting them by misleading them and subsequently, during the period of the victims’ shelter, by permanent physical and mental coercion.

According to the report, the money obtained by exploiting the victims was used by the defendants to support themselves, to invest in property and other assets, as they had no other legal source of income but preferred this way of life outside the law.

Among the arguments regarding the need to extend the defendants’ pretrial detention, the prosecutors say that the trafficked victims must be given a sense of security, to allow the obtaining of truthful testimonies, highlighting the traumas suffered, the brutal behavior of the traffickers and their lack of empathy.

Gândul also presented other extracts from the Report with the proposal to extend the measure of preventive detention, according to which the DIICOT prosecutors said that Andrew and Tristan Tate „can exercise mental control over the victims”.

Route of the file

Brothers Tristan and Andrew Tate were detained on December 29 by the DIICOT prosecutors, along with two young Romanian women. The four are accused of establishing an organized criminal group, human trafficking and rape. The Bucharest Court decided on Friday, December 30, that all four be remanded in custody for 30 days.

At the Pipera villa of brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, where the video chat studio was also set up, several young women were sexually exploited, through intimidation, surveillance and permanent control, according to the evidence in the file. Outside this villa, in the yard of which the Tate brothers also kept their luxury cars, the DIICOT prosecutors tracked down ten properties owned by the British in Romania. After lifting their cars worth hundreds of thousands of euros, the anti-mafia prosecutors seized them and all the villas, which would be worth millions of euros, judicial sources said exclusively for Gândul.

In the week that has elapsed since the detention and arrest of Andrew and Tristan Tate, as well as of the two Romanian women, one of whom is a former police officer at Police Station 7 in Bucharest, the DIICOT prosecutors have centralized the results of the five searches they carried out on 29 December 2022, the last day the two Brits were still at large.

Several items of evidence were seized from the properties searched at the time, including computers used in the videochat business, laptops with databases and money. The computer expertise will bring new evidence to the investigation to support the accusations of human trafficking, judicial sources said.

In the DIICOT file, there are currently two prior complaints from young women who claim to be the victims of Andrew and Tristan Tate. The two told the investigators that they are also forming civil parties in the case, to receive moral and material damages, if the court finds the Tate brothers guilty.
