Prosecutors in Romania on Tuesday said Andrew Tate, his brother, and two other suspects are now being investigated for a more serious charge than the one initially filed against them.
The self-described misogynist influencer is now being investigated for human trafficking in continued form, prosecutors said. His brother, Tristan, and two female Romanian suspects are also being probed for the same crime—which is considered a more severe offense than the human trafficking charge initially filed against them, a spokesperson for Romania’s DIICOT anti-organized crime prosecuting unit said.
A new victim was also added to the case, which originally began with six women, the spokesperson added.
