Controversial influencer Andrew Tate had millions of pounds laundered through British bank accounts managed by a woman linked to an ex-girlfriend, according to court documents.
The woman, whose accounts were traced to a property in the West Country, transferred up to $12 million (almost £10 million) across four accounts, an investigation found.
Tate, 38, and his younger brother Tristan, 36, are said to have used the money to fund their lavish lifestyle which they boast about on social media, including their mansions in Romania and their supercars.
It is estimated that around £1.3 million came from British clients of two of the Tate’s businesses, Hustlers University and The War Room. Both courses are aimed at young men and supposedly teach them how to manipulate women into sex work.
According to legal records seen by Sunday weatherWhen police in the UK and Romania began investigating Tate and her brother Tristan in 2022, the woman known only as ‘J’ moved £805,000 of their money using a cryptocurrency account.
It comes after Devon and Cornwall Police launched a civil court case in which they successfully obtained a series of asset confiscation orders in December.
This allowed them to confiscate around £2.7 million which was held in accounts managed by J and the Tate brothers for the purpose of evading tax.
The two brothers are at the center of two Romanian police investigations for alleged sex trafficking, sexual relations with minors and money laundering. Both strongly deny the charges.

Andrew Tate waves as he leaves the Bucharest Court with his brother Tristan, in Bucharest, Romania, on January 9.
Last week, Tate’s spokesperson revealed that the influencer had been released from house arrest on Tuesday for the first time in five months. The brothers and four other suspects were placed under house arrest as prosecutors launched the second criminal investigation.
The Bucharest Court of Appeals returned a separate first case to prosecutors for the second time in December, saying it could not proceed in its current form.
In that case, the brothers were accused of human trafficking and forming an organized group to sexually exploit women. They also deny these accusations, as well as those of rape and human trafficking that have been made against them in the United Kingdom.
Now, UK court files show Tate used his British accounts to pay almost £500,000 to Georgiana Naghel, an alleged accomplice in Romania believed to be another ex-girlfriend.
Although Tate is no longer under house arrest, he is still subject to travel restrictions.
He also faces a legal battle with Northern Ireland MP Sorcha Eastwood, whose lawyers announced they would launch proceedings against the Tate brothers over offensive social media posts.
The Sunday Times reports how in 2023, lawyers representing J won a battle to grant anonymity to their clients.
At the time, Devon and Cornwall Police had made the case that the Tates and J had deliberately tried to conceal £21m which had passed through seven financial accounts in the UK and Romania.

Two were alleged to have been led by J, four by Andrew and one by Tristan, all of whom were frozen.
In July at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, Sarah Clarke KC, representing the police force, said: ‘Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate are serial tax and VAT evaders. They, particularly Andrew Tate, are shameless about it.
Police said in their application: “The movement of money defies commercial logic and instead has all the hallmarks of money laundering.”
A judge ruled in December that police could seize £2.7m on the basis that the Tates had tried to cheat the income.
It was discovered that Tate used J to hide its true profits. “The use of J was to conceal the fact that the money was linked to the brothers for precisely this reason,” the judge said.
The Sunday Times has discovered how J is connected to Tate through an ex-girlfriend. She is said to have played an important role in his finances, starting with the creation of an account in his name on the payments platform Stripe.
Tate, a former kickboxer and Big Brother contestant, rose to fame on social media, finding a unique audience with his controversial posts about women.
He later began advertising his ‘PhD course’ – ‘Pimping Hoes Degree’ – and his Hustlers University Platform, courses aimed at boys and young men.
Around the same time, Tate launched The War Room, whose members have to pay £6,500 to be a part of.

The secret society, which teaches men physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and financial development, has been accused of grooming women for online sex work.
Tate also made money from clients who wanted to watch women on webcams. He once claimed that 75 women worked there, earning him £400,000 a month.
In July 2019, Tate faced accusations of rape and abuse. Hertfordshire Police passed a file to the CPS but they decided not to prosecute.
When J opened his Stripe account, payments started coming in from subscribers of Hustlers University and The War Room. Tate made £10 million in three and a half years, with the funds pouring into J’s account.
Around £1.3 million is said to have come from British clients.
Stripe’s cash was then transferred to the Tate’s personal accounts, allowing them to finance a life of luxury with supercars such as Bugattis, Lamborghinis and McLarens, as well as two Romanian properties.
Court documents show the money was also used for surveillance and security, as well as to “pay co-defendants and expenses related to the crimes they are currently charged with in Romania.”
Tate is also alleged to have been profiting from sex work, with £4.7 million transferred between his personal accounts referenced ‘Rev Only Fans’, an apparent reference to money made from the porn website used by sex workers.
In June 2022, court documents seen by The Sunday Times show that J opened a cryptocurrency account on an exchange called Gemini using his ID and address.
Tate was also listed as an interested party on the account, which likely allowed him to view an account and make withdrawals.
That same month, Stripe banned Tate’s businesses.
On the same day, June 22, £805,000 was transferred from J’s Stripe account to his personal account, managed by Revolut.
J divided these funds into sums between £1,000 and £100,000 and transferred them to Tate’s personal Revolut account.
He also transferred £75,000 to the Gemini account and the same amount to a separate crypto account, also in his name, signed Kraken. Further transactions totaling £225,000 were transferred to this account.
Money was subsequently withdrawn from the Gemini account until it was closed in October 2022.
Tate and his brother were arrested in Romania in December 2022.
When Devon and Cornwall Police froze the seven accounts, only £2.68 million of the £21 million remained. £1.46 million was in J’s Stripe account and £70,000 in his Gemini account.
The Tate brothers did not provide evidence to refute the request in court, such as tax returns or financial records.
But his team said the evidence “simply demonstrates the legitimate profits of online sites controlled by them and the legitimate and transparent movement of those funds,” which “does not demonstrate any criminality.”
Lawyers for the Tate brothers declined to comment to the Sunday Times.
MailOnline has contacted the Tates’ lawyers.
A spokesman for the brothers said: ‘When you speak out against power there is a fundamental change in the practice of ‘law’. It’s not here anymore, there’s the crime, now find the man.
‘It becomes that here is the man who now finds the crime. This is a trap.’
A judge concluded that “all of the Tates’ financial arrangements are consistent with concerted tax evasion and money laundering” and that the money in the accounts was not declared in the United Kingdom or Romania.
Tate said at the time that the ruling was “not justice” and described it as a “coordinated attack.”
Devon and Cornwall Police said: “From the outset our aim was to prove that Andrew and Tristan Tate evaded tax and laundered money through bank accounts located in Devon.
‘It is alleged that both individuals concealed the source of their income by funneling money through ‘front’ accounts, which constitutes criminal activity and converts those profits into the proceeds of crime.
“We will withhold further comment until the 28-day appeal period has concluded.”
