Tate brothers reported to UK anti-terror police over Russia trip

Andrew and Tristan Tate have been reported to British anti-terror police following a trip to Russia where they participated in military-style training. The report was filed by Conservative MP Alicia Kearns, who suggests the brothers may have violated British laws regarding foreign influence.

In June, the brothers shared videos from Russia showing them in military uniforms, bulletproof vests, and helmets. The footage includes them inside a Soviet T-80BV tank, assembling a Kalashnikov-style automatic weapon, and participating in shooting exercises. Kearns has called for an investigation into whether the brothers acted under instructions from Russian authorities or received payment from the state.

A spokesperson for the Tate brothers denied the allegations, stating the visit was “completely private and personal” and that they received no financial support, instructions, or payment from the Russian government. During their trip, the brothers also attended the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

The Tate brothers are currently in federal custody in Miami, fighting extradition to the United Kingdom, where they face charges including rape and human trafficking. They deny all wrongdoing.
