Police can seize money from frozen accounts after ‘straightforward cheat of the revenue’, London magistrate rules

Summary

Andrew and Tristan Tate lost a £2m court case over unpaid taxes after a UK magistrate ruled their financial dealings were a “straightforward cheat of the revenue.”

Police can seize funds from seven frozen accounts tied to the Tates and an associate, J, citing years of tax and VAT evasion on £21m from ventures like Hustlers’ University and OnlyFans.

The Tates deny wrongdoing, calling the ruling a “coordinated attack.”

This case adds to ongoing legal troubles, including human trafficking charges in Romania. An appeal period is underway.
