UK Police Warn: Tate Brothers Radicalize Boys into Misogyny

British police warn that online influencers like Andrew Tate are radicalizing boys towards extreme misogyny in a “terrifying” way, the BBC reports. Senior Constable Maggie Blyth said young men and boys could be radicalized in the same way terrorists attract followers online. This is a topic that counter-terrorism specialists are also discussing, she said.

The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) has published a report on violence against women and girls, which it calls a “national emergency”. The NPCC estimated that at least one in 12 women in England and Wales would be a victim of violence each year – that’s around two million women annually. And he said the problem was growing, with “more sophisticated types of crime”.

The Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan Tate, who established their operations in Romania, were remanded and sent to court last year by DIICOT for rape, human trafficking and the creation of an organized criminal group.

Senior Constable Maggie Blyth said officers focusing on violence against women and girls were now working with counter-terrorism teams to examine the risk of radicalization of young people.

Andrew Tate is a controversial British-American influencer and self-proclaimed “misogynist”, who rose to fame after appearing on Big Brother in 2016. Schools in the UK have previously told the BBC they are dealing with increasing numbers of pupils who he admires Tate. The wide-ranging NPCC and College of Policing report, published on Tuesday, said violence against women and girls had reached “epidemic” levels. The report estimated that one in 20 adults – or 2.3 million people – perpetrate violence against women and girls each year.

The other days, the Bucharest Court of Appeal rejected the request of brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate to be allowed to leave Romania in order to travel to the European Union, the court’s decision being final.

The Tate brothers have faced movement restrictions for almost two years.

The Bucharest Court ordered, in April, the start of the trial in the case in which brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate are accused of forming an organized criminal group, human trafficking in a continuous form and rape in a continuous form, the judge of the preliminary chamber finding the legality of the indictment and rejecting several requests and exceptions formulated by the two brothers.
