Overview
- In mid‑June prosecutors said they had broadened the DIICOT inquiry by adding allegations tied to a 39‑year‑old British suspect and claims that a vulnerable woman was exploited in 2017.
- Authorities say the probe now examines alleged human trafficking, the formation of an organised crime group and money laundering linked to activities between 2018 and 2022.
- Investigators allege companies connected to the suspects were used to move funds through transfers described as loans and to buy properties, vehicles and other high‑value items.
- The Tate brothers had restrictions lifted in April 2026 but the inquiry remains active, prosecutors are still collecting evidence and no court has issued a final ruling.
- The case is led by Romania’s DIICOT and has clear cross‑border elements with the United Kingdom, meaning prosecutors may seek more international records and testimony as the investigation proceeds.
