STORYLINE:
VOICE-OVER SCRIPT:
A COURT IN ROMANIA HAS RULED THAT A TRIAL CAN START IN THE CASE OF INFLUENCER ANDREW TATE.
HE’S CHARGED WITH HUMAN TRAFFICKING, RAPE AND FORMING A CRIMINAL GANG TO SEXUALLY EXPLOIT WOMEN.
ANDREW TATE SHOT TO INTERNET FAME, TALLYING MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS ON X, FORMALLY KNOWN AS TWITTER, DUE TO HIS RANTS ON MALE DOMINANCE AND WEALTH.
HE WAS BANNED FROM VARIOUS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS FOR EXPRESSING MISOGYNISTIC VIEWS AND FOR HATE SPEECH.
ROMANIAN PROSECUTORS ALLEGED HE AND HIS BROTHER, TRISTAN TATE, MISLED VICTIMS BY FALSELY CLAIMING THEY WANTED A RELATIONSHIP OR MARRIAGE.
THE TATE BROTHERS WERE ARRESTED IN DECEMBER 2022 ALONG WITH TWO ROMANIAN WOMEN.
TATE HAS REPEATEDLY CLAIMED THAT PROSECUTORS HAVE NO EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM AND THERE IS A POLITICAL CONSPIRACY TO SILENCE HIM.
