Andrew Tate Update: Lawyer comes clean about controversial cease and desist letter against accuser

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in Romania on counts of sex trafficking and rape, and they remain in prison there to this day.

Andrew Tate and his team have solid suspicions that the brothers are being framed. The former kickboxing world champion has threatened legal action against women who have accused him of sex trafficking. According to her attorneys in the United States, Andrew Tate's team sent a cease-and-desist letter to the woman in December, threatening to sue her and her family for defamation for $300 million (£249 million).

Legal experts say that the brothers attempted to intimidate witnesses by bringing legal action against two women in Romania last April, despite the fact that the brothers refuted the allegations.

Seasoned attorney Tina Glandidan, who is leading the defense of the Tate brothers, released a statement in the wake of her client's detention being extended for another month. In a legal letter obtained by Spynews, Glandian stated:

"At the end of January, after being detained for a month and seeing that in the nine months that have passed there have been no developments in the criminal case against the two women. As US citizens, they decided to exercise their legal rights here in the US against the American woman. My company had no involvement in sending the cease and desist letter. Nor was the legal team of Romania involved in the representation of the Tate brothers in the criminal investigation. The cease and desist letter was sent by US civil attorneys because it relates to a defamation lawsuit that will take place here in the United States."

The statement further read:

"Their civil attorney believed in the cease and desist letter because it was a necessary first step before filing the civil suit. To be clear, the Tate brothers are not trying to intimidate anyone, they just want the truth to come out, and they have a team of lawyers handling all the necessary legal action to clear their image."

Andrew Tate update: Lawyer compares her client's case to Eleanor Williams' fake sex abuse claims

Eleanor Williams, whose fraudulent claims that she was the victim of an Asian grooming ring sparked a storm of outrage and protests. Following that, she was recently sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison.

In the aforementioned statement, Tina Glandian compared the defamation accusations against Andrew Tate to the Williams incident. Although she did not give out Eleanor Williams's name, the statement did say that she was 22 years old:

“Just this month, a 22-year-old British woman was sentenced to 8 years and 5 months in prison for falsely claiming she was traffic-raped and forced to work as a prostitute. Over the course of several years, she went so far as to injure her face with a hammer. The false accusations in that case led to several suicide attempts by the accused men within weeks of them."

Further comparing the case to Andrew Tate's ongoing investigation, the statement read:

“The Tate brothers strongly deny any wrongdoing and are determined to maintain their innocence. The foundation of justice is the presumption of innocence and the trial. We ask for thanks!"
