Tate brothers lose court bid to be told names of their UK accusers
Mr Justice Chamberlain said the Crown Prosecution Service’s refusal to disclose names was coherent and did not breach the brothers’ fair-trial rights.
- On Friday, Mr Justice Chamberlain dismissed a legal challenge from Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate against the Crown Prosecution Service regarding the withholding of alleged victims' names in criminal proceedings.
- Earlier this week, lawyers for the brothers argued the Crown Prosecution Service acted unlawfully by refusing to disclose names, claiming this prevented them from preparing a defense and violated their right to a fair trial.
- Defense counsel Sallie Bennett-Jenkins called the decision "wholly perverse," arguing it relied on the Tates' social media notoriety rather than legal fairness, despite the brothers offering £20,000 each to guarantee victim privacy.
- Mr Justice Chamberlain ruled the decision "coherent and rational," noting prosecutors were "entitled to take a precautionary approach" to protect witnesses from interference with justice, given the Tates' "notorious" profile.
- The Tates, currently facing legal proceedings in Romania, will receive the names only when their case "commence substantively." They face 21 charges including rape and human trafficking after future extradition.
