Police can seize more than £2m from controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan after they failed to pay tax on £21m of revenue from their online businesses, a court has ruled. Devon and Cornwall Police had sought to seize the funds – held in seven frozen bank accounts – from the brothers and a third person, referred to as J. The chief magistrate at Westminster Magistrates’ Court said what appeared to be a “complex financial matrix” was actually a “straightforward cheat of the revenue”. Andrew Tate said the ruling was “not justice” and called it a “co-ordinated attack”. Some of the revenue was directly linked by detectives to allegations of human trafficking that the brothers face in Romania.
