Romanian prosecutors said on June 13 that social media influencer Andrew Tate, his brother Tristan, and two other suspects were being investigated for human trafficking in continued form, saying it was a more serious crime than separate counts of trafficking. The Tate brothers and two Romanian female suspects are under house arrest pending a criminal investigation for suspected human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, accusations they deny. Prosecutors are expected to commit them for trial later in June. The four were in police custody from December 29 until March 31, when a court placed them under house arrest.
