The influencer, who famously said, “I like living in a society where my money, my influence, and my power mean that I’m not below or beholden to any laws,” finds that quote drenched in irony as Romanian authorities slap cuffs on him and his brother Tristan. The Tates are facing the music for alleged organized crime and human trafficking, with the law firmly reminding them that their bank account balances and Instagram followers don’t grant them immunity.
As reported by Metro, these charges, fueled by the testimonies of seven women, are in stark contrast to the Tate’s robust denial campaign. With a London court firing off an arrest warrant faster than Tates can tweet, the brothers’ storyline has taken a dive from boasting about living above the law to potentially living within the confines of a jail cell.
