U.K. court says police can seize millions in unpaid taxes from misogynist influencer Andrew Tate

London — A court in the United Kingdom ruled Wednesday that police could seize the equivalent of $3.3 million in frozen financial assets from misogynist social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan to cover years of unpaid taxes.

The money has been held in seven bank accounts, frozen by British authorities, belonging to Tate, who previously lived in the U.K., his brother Tristan and a woman identified by the British authorities only as J.

Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring at the Westminster Magistrates' Court said in his Wednesday ruling that transactions made by the brothers, including transfers amounting to almost $12 million to J, had been a "straightforward cheat" to evade tax authorities.
