Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been accused of failing to pay tax in any country on £21m of revenue from their online businesses earned between 2014 and 2022.

Devon and Cornwall Police are bringing a civil claim against the pair - and a third person referred to only as J - over unpaid tax, Westminster Magistrates' Court was told on Monday.

The court was also told the brothers had "a huge number of bank accounts" in the UK, seven of which have been frozen.

The police force is seeking around £2.8m in seven frozen bank accounts.

Sarah Clarke KC, for Devon and Cornwall Police, said that money "washed around UK bank accounts" that were used "as a mechanism for moving revenues from their business activities through a wide number of accounts".

"That's what tax evasion looks like, that's what money laundering looks like," she told the court.

The money came from products they sold online as well as their OnlyFans sites, the court heard.

Why does the streetwalker not ditch her pimp? Usually it’s social isolation, emotional manipulation, drugs and violence.

That and we don't really allow sex workers to have a proper place of work and hire proper security so they are left to work on the street and seek the protection of a pimp.
