Andrew and Tristan Tate recently issued direct threats to the Romanian prosecutor investigating their case, claiming that he should be behind bars instead of them.

Got Seven Cars Back

The outburst came after the brothers regained some of their luxury cars, which had been seized by authorities in connection to their ongoing legal troubles.

In January, Romanian authorities confiscated 16 high-end vehicles from the Tates as part of an investigation into charges that include human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group, according to Ziare.

Recently, the brothers succeeded in recovering seven of these cars, valued at over €4 million ($4.2 million), after it was determined they weren’t registered in their names.

On October 2, Tristan Tate posted on social media about the return of the cars.

"I got seven cars back today," he said. "When they came to my house, they didn’t check any documents. They just took everything in 10 minutes without asking who owned what.”

You Should be in Jail

In another social media post, Tristan directly threatened the prosecutor involved in the case, saying:

"You wanted to be the first prosecutor to seize a Bugatti, but you failed. You won’t succeed, and I will win this case. You’re the one who should be in jail.”

The Tate brothers, once known for their careers in kickboxing, are now more notorious for their social media presence and the legal charges they face. Despite being banned from platforms like Twitter and YouTube for their controversial views, they still have a strong following, especially among young men.

Currently under house arrest, the brothers are awaiting further legal proceedings in Romania. Though they have regained some of their assets, the investigation into their alleged criminal activities is ongoing and may result in a trial.
