The BBC has seen a redacted letter sent on behalf of Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan.
A letter sent on behalf of Andrew Tate and his brother threatens to sue one of his accusers and her parents for $300m if she does not retract her statementsControversial influencer Andrew Tate has threatened legal action against at least one of the women making rape and human trafficking claims against him.
Benjamin Bull - who works for the National Centre on Sexual Exploitation - says his client is a key witness in the Romanian investigation, and that the letter was designed to do "one thing and one thing only": Tina Glandian, one of their legal advisors, said there was nothing abnormal in them pursuing valid legal claims for defamation. "The fact that [the Tates] are incarcerated right now is not a basis for them not to pursue their legal rights," she said.
"There was no evidence whatsoever of that," she said, "which is why [the Tates] were not arrested in April. [At that time], they were nothing but victims of false allegations, and they had every right to file criminal complaints for having their homes raided [and] property seized.
"Making really salacious claims, attempting to slut shame them, saying they're liars. But included in that is their private information - where they work, who their family members are - with the clear intention to incite harassment. And it's working.""They're scared to death. They're both in hiding. They feel they can't settle anywhere, because people are trying to find them.
Some accounts appear to be fully-staffed operations, regularly releasing videos and documents designed to undermine the testimony of witnesses and other women making allegations against the Tates.
