Florida attorney general James Uthmeier on Tuesday said he’s opened an investigation into Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan.
A criminal investigation into online influencer and self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan has been opened in Florida, according to the state attorney general Tuesday. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has directed the Office of Statewide Prosecution “to execute search warrants and issue subpoenas,” in what he is calling a “now-active criminal investigation” into the brothers, he said on social media. In a video posted by a Scripps reporter for CNN affiliate WTXL, Uthmeier says the Tate brothers have “publicly admitted” to what appears to be “preying upon women” around the world. “People can spin or defend however they want, but in Florida, this type of behavior is viewed as atrocious,” he said in the video. “They chose to come here and set their feet down in this state and we’re going to pursue every tool we have within our legal authority to hold them accountable.” A spokesperson for the brothers had no comment when reached by CNN Tuesday. Andrew Tate took to X to say he was “disappointed” by the development, after he and his brother were allowed to leave Romania last week following their arrest in 2022.
