Controversial influencer Andrew Tate had millions of pounds laundered through British bank accounts run by a woman linked to an ex-girlfriend, according to court documents.
The woman, whose accounts were traced to a property in the West Country, transferred as much as $12million (almost £10million) through four accounts, an investigation has found.
Tate, 38, and his younger brother Tristan, 36, are said to have used the money to fund their lavish lifestyle of which they boast on social media, including mansions in Romania and supercars.
It is estimated that about £1.3million came from British customers of two of Tate’s businesses, Hustlers University and The War Room. Both courses are aimed at young men and allegedly teach them how to manipulate women into sex work.
According to legal files seen by The Sunday Times, as police in the UK and Romania started probing Tate and his brother Tristan in 2022, the woman known only as ‘J’ moved £805,000 of their money using a cryptocurrency account.
It comes after Devon and Cornwall Police launched a civil court case in which they successfully obtained a series of asset forfeiture orders last month.
This enabled them to seize about £2.7million that was being held in accounts run by J and the Tate brothers for the purposes of evading tax.
