Embattled influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate returned to a Romanian police station on Monday to comply with a court-mandated order to present themselves to authorities as they face a litany of legal battles in multiple countries. 

The brothers are mandated to check in with authorities to maintain compliance with judicial control requirements as they face charges of human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. 

While outside the Voluntari police station, Andrew Tate told reporters, “I’m a free person who has not been convicted of anything,” vowing to “comply with all judicial authorities everywhere around the world because I’m completely innocent.”

The pair’s legal woes are not only confined to Romania, with four British women filing civil lawsuits in the U.K. after the country’s Crown Prosecution Service opted not to file criminal charges. 

The Tates also face extradition to the U.K. following the conclusion of their Romanian legal proceedings after authorities issued arrest warrants over sexual aggression allegations spanning from 2012 to 2025. 

“It doesn’t matter what you’re accused of, it matters what you are proven guilty to have done in a fair court of law,” Andrew Tate said on Monday. “Accusations mean nothing. It doesn’t matter how many times you repeat an accusation on the news. That is garbage.”
