Andrew Tate has claimed that the Romanian authorities have charged him with rape and human trafficking in a ploy to “steal” his wealth.
The controversial British-American influencer has been charged with rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women.
Tate has been charged along with his brother Tristan and two associates.
The influencer had been placed under house arrest for months as the police investigation was ongoing.
Prosecutors said there were seven female alleged victims, including some who were “misled” by “false claims of marriage and love”, according to a translation of the statement.

In response to the indictment, Tate has taken to social media to share his conspiracy theory that the whole case has been fabricated to steal his wealth.
Tate quoted a tweet about the charges, along with the words: “I'm sure this case has absolutely nothing to do with stealing my wealth.”
\u201cIm sure this case has absolutely nothing to do with stealing my wealth.\u201d— Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1687257580
The 36-year-old made the claim after a Tate-dedicated Twitter account claimed that as part of the indictment he would have $380m in cryptocurrency, 15 luxury cars, 14 watches and 15 buildings confiscated.
In addition, Tate also claimed that the "DNG is outside of my house. Again." Tristan Tate also claimed that documentary Matt Shea had showed up at his house and was "shouting" at him.
\u201cMatt Shea came to my gate shouting questions at me.\n\nI asked him politely if he had my chocolates and he refused to answer my question.\n\nShame, would have loved an interview.\n\nWizzair home I guess?\u201d— Tristan Tate (@Tristan Tate) 1687263592
Tate has since shared a six-and-a-half minute video comparing himself to Johnny and footballers Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar for assault allegations that they have faced.
In the tweet he wrote: "Men. This isn’t about me. This isn’t about whether you like me or not. This is about all of us. Today it’s me. Tomorrow it’s you. Nobody is safe from these lies."
\u201cMen. \n\nThis isn\u2019t about me. \n\nThis isn\u2019t about whether you like me or not. \n\nThis is about all of us. \n\nToday it\u2019s me. Tomorrow it\u2019s you. \n\nNobody is safe from these lies.\u201d— Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1687268646
Tate has previously denied all allegations of abuse and trafficking.
