Andrew Tate prosecution files reveal graphic claims of coercion

Details of graphic evidence compiled by Romanian prosecutors, alleging that Andrew Tate coerced women into sexual acts, have been seen by the BBC.

The case file summary, containing hundreds of pages of testimony and transcripts, includes an allegation of sexual violence which is said to have left one woman with eye and breast injuries.

And in what prosecutors say are transcribed audio messages, Mr Tate's brother Tristan appears to say that he will "slave these bitches".

Both men are facing trial in Romania for human trafficking and forming an organised criminal group with two other defendants.

Andrew Tate is also facing a charge of rape. They deny all the charges against them. A spokeswoman for the brothers said they "vehemently denied" the allegations and claimed, without elaboration, that there is "substantial new evidence pointing to their innocence”.

The BBC cannot verify whether the messages have been accurately transcribed or whether they were sent by the defendants as claimed, because the original evidence is not included in the summary document.
