The Tate brothers were initially arrested at their residence in Bucharest in December. However, in March, they were granted house arrest after a decision by a Romanian judge.

The indictment deposited with the Bucharest court says that the four defendants formed an organised criminal group in 2021 to commit human trafficking in Romania, but also in other countries including the US and the UK.

It names seven alleged victims who it says were recruited by the Tate brothers through false promises of love and marriage.

Andrew Tate has been charged with raping one of the victims, while his brother has been charged with instigating others into violence.

The trial will not start immediately and is expected to take several years.

A Romanian judge now has 60 days to inspect the case files before it can be sent to trial.
