Detained in Romania, Tate brothers keep delaying court case – DW – 11/04/2024

Andrew and Tristan Tate have been under investigation for the rape and abuse of women for years. But they still haven't faced justice.

Summary

Andrew and Tristan Tate face charges in Romania for human trafficking, rape, and abuse, yet their trial has been repeatedly delayed using legal tactics to hold up proceedings.

The Tates, notorious for misogynistic and far-right views on social media, allegedly exploited women through the “lover boy” method, in which men pretend to be caring boyfriends before forcing their victims into prostitution as well as appearing in online sex channels and porn films.

Despite a 2024 court decision to proceed with a criminal trial, proceedings have stalled. Romania’s justice system, criticized for leniency toward traffickers, further complicates justice.

The Tates remain publicly popular, with Andrew even receiving applause at a Romanian festival amid these allegations.

    yet their trial has been repeatedly delayed using legal tactics to hold up proceedings.

    It seems like weaponizing the justice systems of the world to let the worst people get away with shit has really become en vogue.

      1. Its more that they’re returning to the old ways. Unfortunately it was a brief, exclusively western concept that justice was universal.
      2. There is a solution to it. Western Europeans did it before, we can do it again.

      The worst people who can afford the best skilled lawyers have been trying that kind of shenanigans since the beginning of lawyers and courts.
