A British court has cleared police to seize $3.3 million from misogynist social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother to cover unpaid taxes.

Summary

A U.K. court ruled police can seize $3.3 million in frozen assets from Andrew and Tristan Tate over unpaid taxes.

The funds, held in seven bank accounts, stem from $26.5 million in revenue allegedly earned tax-free from their online businesses.

Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring called their actions a “straightforward cheat” to evade taxes, while Tate labeled the ruling “outright theft” and a “coordinated attack.”

The brothers, already under house arrest in Romania for human trafficking charges, face additional allegations in the U.K. They deny all accusations.
