EXCLUSIVE | Four complaints, for beatings and other violence, filed on behalf of the Tate brothers with the Voluntari Police. All complaints lay unresolved

The case in which brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested for human trafficking and the creation of a criminal group contains no less than four complaints of beatings and other violence, made by girls who ended up working in the Pipera video chat studio, controlled by the two . None of these complaints has been solved by the Ilfov police officers from Voluntari, and at least one of the investigators has reportedly come to the attention of the anti-mafia prosecutors.

The DIICOT prosecutors investigating the Tate brothers’ case discovered that, in reality, there were four complaints of beating filed at the Volutari police station by young women who worked for the two British men, under the strict guard of former police officers Luana Radu and Georgiana Naghel.

Judicial sources told Gândul that the first complaints were filed by C.D.P. at the Voluntari police station on the 28th and 29th of October 2021. The sources quoted said that C.D.P. had decided to stop working for the Tate brothers, as she was obliged to stay online for 12 hours a day, with five-minute breaks. In addition, she was under great psychological pressure, which she could no longer cope with.

As a result, on 28 October she allegedly quarreled with Luana Radu, a former policewoman at Police Station 7 in Bucharest, and Georgiana Naghel. The latter allegedly beat her and forced her to lift her arm, even though she had just had an operation for breast enlargement, and this gesture, forbidden by the surgeon, caused her suffering.

The young woman had arrived at police headquarters with her clothes on, without any of her valuables. Subsequently, the two trusted women of the Brits would also arrive and bring her some of her goods in a plastic bag.

The victim filed a complaint and left, and the next day she allegedly returned to the Voluntari police headquarters, where the case officer tried to get her to drop it, arguing that Luana Radu is a former policewoman and „wouldn’t do that”.

According to investigators, DIICOT prosecutors later discovered that two more complaints had been filed with the same police unit during 2022, also by the sex workers exploited by the Tate brothers.

Two more complaints filed in summer 2022

Thus, the sources cited said that two other complaints were filed in Voluntari on the 26th of May and the 10th of July 2022, but they have not been solved either.

The DIICOT prosecutors succeeded in convincing the judge at the Bucharest Court to extend the Tate brothers’ arrest warrants, arguing that, left free, they „could exercise psychological control over the victims”.

The prosecutors also say that brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate could flee Romania if released from custody. In this context, the DIICOT prosecutors made use of an earlier statement by one of the two eccentric millionaires, in which he indicated that he had accounts in 19 countries around the world and could fly using several passports.

„If I’m wrong and England wants me in jail, I can fly with a Nigerian or American or English or Polish or Estonian passport. I have bank accounts in 19 countries,” prosecutors quoted the statement of one of the Tate brothers in their report.

The arguments and evidence presented by the DIICOT prosecutors convinced the Bucharest Court to extend their preventive arrest warrants for another 30 days, and the judge considered that their release „would create real risks for the proper conduct of the criminal trial”.

Andrew and Tristan Tate are accused of „setting up an organized criminal group in 2021 with a view to committing the crime of trafficking in human beings on the territory of Romania and other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom”.

„The victims were then transported and housed in buildings in Ilfov county where, through acts of physical violence and psychological (through intimidation, constant surveillance, control and the allegation of debts), were sexually exploited by members of the group by being forced to engage in pornographic acts with a view to producing and disseminating such material via social media platforms and by being forced to perform forced labor in order to obtain significant financial benefits consisting in sums of money obtained as a result of users accessing the material”, according to the DIICOT.
