Online influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate are facing a number of charges in England, prosecutors have confirmed.
Andrew Tate is accused of ten counts, including rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain relating to three alleged victims.
Tristan Tate faces 11 charges, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking against one alleged victim.
An international arrest warrant was issued by police for the siblings over allegations dating back to between 2012 and 2015, which they deny.
They are already facing prosecution in Romania over claims of trafficking minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering.
A separate case against the Tates, in which they are accused of human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, has been sent back to prosecutors.
The pair are due to be extradited to the UK following the conclusion of proceedings in Romania.
"We can confirm that we have authorised charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate for offences including rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm against three women," a Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson said.
"These charging decisions followed receipt of a file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police.
"A European Arrest Warrant was issued in England in 2024, and as a result the Romanian courts ordered the extradition to the UK of Andrew and Tristan Tate.
"However, the domestic criminal matters in Romania must be settled first.
"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendants have the right to a fair trial.
"It is extremely important that there be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."
