Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Tuesday announced a criminal investigation into right-wing influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate, amid allegations of human trafficking, money laundering and rape.

The brothers, who were detained in Romania in 2022 and banned from traveling overseas, landed back in Florida last week after the Romanian government lifted the travel ban. Romanian authorities said they are still continuing their case against the brothers.

The brothers, who have denied any wrongdoing, have also been accused of rape and tax evasion in the U.K. The brothers have have dual citizenship, both British and U.S., Axios reported.

Uthmeier said that his team has now secured and executed subpoenas and warrants as part of the investigation.

"These guys have themselves publicly admitted to participating in what very much appears to be soliciting, trafficking, preying upon women around the world," Uthmeier said. "In Florida, this type of behavior is viewed as atrocious. We're not going to accept it. They chose to come here and set their feet down in this state, and we're going to pursue every tool we have within our legal authority to hold them accountable."

The investigation comes after Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis said last week that the brothers were not welcom in his state, and that Uthmeier would investigate whether any of the alleged crimes were committed within Florida jurisdiction.
