  • Hertfordshire Constabulary has reopened a criminal investigation into Andrew Tate regarding allegations of rape and other offences made by three women in the UK.
  • This new investigation follows an Independent Office for Police Misconduct (IOPC) probe into Hertfordshire Constabulary's original handling of the case between 2015 and 2019.
  • The decision to reopen the case came after the alleged victims challenged the Crown Prosecution Service's 2019 decision to take no further action via the Victim's Right to Review scheme.
  • This UK investigation is separate from ongoing criminal charges in Romania, where Tate faces accusations including human trafficking and rape, and an extradition request.
  • Tate is also facing civil proceedings in the High Court from four British women alleging rape, assault, and coercive control, with a trial scheduled for June 2026; he denies all allegations.
