Andrew and Tristan Tate are facing multiple legal issues across different jurisdictions. In July 2026, they were arrested in Miami on charges including rape and human trafficking related to alleged crimes against seven victims between 2010 and 2017, prompting the British Crown’s request for their extradition. Separately, they are under investigation by Romanian authorities since December 2022 for similar offenses, including organized crime and human trafficking. The Tate brothers have been involved in an online sexcam operation, allegedly exploiting women. New charges have been added in the UK, totaling 59 imputations against Andrew Tate. While their US detention is related to extradition proceedings, legal experts note that any final sentence would be served in the country imposing it. Furthermore, a Financial Times investigation confirmed that during Donald Trump’s administration in 2025, there was pressure on Romanian authorities to lift travel restrictions on the brothers.

PULSE is an initiative for cross-border collaborative journalism in Europe co-funded by the European Commission under Grant Agreement n. PO 4500158093.

PULSE is an initiative coordinated by OBCT that has been promoting intensive journalistic cross-border collaborations in Europe since 2024. Its main aim is to help strengthen the European public sphere by reporting on and telling stories from new and diverse perspectives.

At the heart of PULSE are 10 leading national news outlets (Delfi – Lithuania, Deník Referendum – Czechia, Der Standard – Austria, EfSyn – Greece, El Confidencial – Spain, Gazeta Wyborcza – Poland, HotNews – Romania, HVG – Hungary, Il Sole 24 Ore – Italy, Mediapool – Bulgaria) and three transnational organisations, including OBCT , n-ost and Voxeurop .

Additional outlets and journalists are involved as associate partners, including EUobserver , Føljeton (Denmark), H-Alter (Croatia), Levila (Estonia), Rubryka (Ukraine), and The Journal Investigates (Ireland).

PULSE is driven by a sort of virtual transnational newsroom made up of journalists from all the publications involved. It collaboratively produces new journalistic content on European issues on a daily basis, coming in many different languages. The editorial output amounts to over a thousand publications per year, mostly in article form.

PULSE also runs 4 thematic networks open to any European journalist interested in crucial issues such as EU enlargement, relations between the EU and other global powers, the EU’s green transition, or media and the information society. These networks function as online communities and periodically publish calls for pitches.
