According to prosecutors, the Tate brothers lured their seven victims by claiming they wanted a relationship or marriage and then took them to properties outside the capital of Bucharest. They were then forced to produce pornographic content for social media sites and were subjected to physical violence.

No trial date has been set yet. The brothers are dual US-British nationals.

Andrew has been banned from many social media platforms for his hateful ideology.

After Andrew‘s arrest in December, it was claimed that he was arrested after authorities discovered his whereabouts thanks to the pizza box seen in a video that he posted in response to Greta Thunberg.
