Romania Seizes Tate’s Assets
Romanian prosecutors have requested the seizure of 15 properties, 15 luxury cars, 14 watches, and $560,000 worth of Bitcoin as part of the indictment against Andrew Tate.
The Romanian Organized Crime and Terrorism Investigation Department announced on Tuesday through a press release that Tate is facing charges of rape and human trafficking.
This announcement brought forward the case that came to light late last year. Tate had a widespread reputation on social media. He was arrested in December and placed in a prison in Romania, and was put under house arrest while DIICOT investigated allegations of human trafficking and sexual assault.
The indictment states that Tate’s brother Tristan Tate and two partners are also facing the same charges.
Seized Bitcoins Caused a Short-Term Misunderstanding
Among the assets that DIICOT has requested to seize from Tate are 21 bitcoins with a current value of $562,050 – confirmed by a DIICOT spokesperson.
Some automatic translation software, including Google Translate, incorrectly interpreted the original Romanian, stating that a much larger amount of $384 million was seized.
According to the information received, the cases are expected to last several years, and a judge in Romania has 60 days to examine the evidence. Tate’s spokesperson reported that “this opportunity was presented to prove their innocence.”
