Andrew Tate has also been charged with raping one of the victims, while his brother Tristan has been charged with instigating others to violence.Under Romanian law, the case gets sent to the court's preliminary chamber, where a judge has 60 days to inspect the case files to ensure legality.

Prosecutors have said the Tate brothers recruited their victims by seducing them and falsely claiming to want a relationship or marriage.
