The attorney general of Florida has opened a criminal investigation of Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan after the pair were able to fly into the state last week despite facing trial in Romania on charges of rape, sex with a minor, people trafficking and money laundering.
James Uthmeier, appointed to be the state attorney general by Florida governor Ron DeSantis, said on Tuesday he had begun an “active criminal investigation” of the brothers and was prepared to use the “full force of law” in his examination of their conduct.
He added: “Many of these victims are coming forward, some of them minors.
People can spin or defend however they want, but in Florida, this type of behavior is viewed as atrocious.
As they arrived in Florida last week, Uthmeier said: “Florida has zero tolerance for human trafficking and violence against women.
Trump aide Elon Musk responded to a suggestion from Andrew Tate that he would “run for prime minister of the UK” by saying “he’s not wrong.”
Last week Andrew Tate said: “We’ve no criminal record anywhere on the planet ever. »
