A criminal investigation into online influencer and self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan has been opened in Florida, according to the state attorney general Tuesday.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has directed the Office of Statewide Prosecution “to execute search warrants and issue subpoenas,” in what he is calling a “now-active criminal investigation” into the brothers, he said on social media.
In a video posted by a Scripps reporter for CNN affiliate WTXL, Uthmeier says the Tate brothers have “publicly admitted” to what appears to be “preying upon women” around the world.
A spokesperson for the brothers had no comment when reached by CNN Tuesday.
Andrew Tate took to X to say he was “disappointed” by the development, after he and his brother were allowed to leave Romania last week following their arrest in 2022.
“Insanity,” his post reads. “I am super disappointed in the United States. This isn’t the America I know. This is a sad sad day for America. Trying to find crimes on an innocent man.”
