What's the AliExpress version of Dubai?

Pakistan.

He won't survive anywhere in the Muslim world even if he runs. There's less access to booze and pussy and I doubt he has much money to his name anymore. Even if he still has money and runs, there still one risk of being sent back by the cops for + Western points and migration grants and another risk that he gets killed by jihad for being a fake muslim.

Devon & Cornwall police have decided to try the Al Capone gambit:

Devon & Cornwall Rozzers said:
Controversial social media personality Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been accused of failing to pay any tax on £21m of revenue from their online businesses.

Devon and Cornwall Police is bringing a civil claim against the brothers and a third person, referred to only as J.

They are accused of paying no tax in any country on their online business revenue between 2014 and 2022.

The force is seeking to recover around £2.8 million in seven frozen bank accounts, an application the three defendants are contesting.

"Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate are serial tax and VAT evaders," Sarah Clarke KC for Devon and Cornwall Police told Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday.

"They, in particular Andrew Tate, are brazen about it."

Ms Clarke quoted from a video posted online by Andrew Tate, in which he said: "When I lived in England I refused to pay tax."

The court heard he said his approach was "ignore, ignore, ignore because in the end they go away".

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

Ms Clarke said the money - from various products sold on websites including OnlyFans - had been “washed around” a huge number of UK bank accounts.

As well as owning extensive land, property and vehicles in Romania, the Tates had spent their earnings on “fast cars and property”, Ms Clarke said.

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

The brothers are accused of paying just under $12m into an account in J's name, and opening a second account in her name, even though she had no role in their businesses, the court heard.

Devon and Cornwall Police alleges that this was fraud by false misrepresentation.

Ms Clarke said all three would not provide any evidence in the case.

Money from the brothers' businesses including Cobra Tate, Hustlers' University and War Room was paid into the first account, held with payment service provider Stripe.

It was opened in February 2019 in J's name with an incorrect date of birth, the court heard. Driving licences belonging to both Andrew Tate and J were later submitted to Stripe as proof of identity and address.

The majority of payments out of this account went to one of Andrew Tate's accounts, the court heard.

J also moved money through her own Revolut bank account, including one payment of £805,000, the court heard.

Of this, £495,000 was paid to Andrew Tate, and £75,000 to an account in J's name that was later converted to cryptocurrency, it is alleged.

The proceedings are civil, which uses a lower standard of proof than criminal cases.

Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring will decide on the balance of probabilities whether what the police claim is true.

The case was adjourned until Tuesday.

Andrew Tate is a self-described misogynist and was previously banned from social media platforms for expressing misogynistic views.

In a separate case in Romania, the Tate brothers, former kickboxers who are dual UK-US nationals, are accused of exploiting women via an adult content business, which prosecutors allege operated as a criminal group.

Two female Romanian associates were also named alongside the brothers in an indictment published in June last year, and seven alleged victims were identified.

Andrew Tate has repeatedly claimed Romanian prosecutors have no evidence against him and there is a conspiracy to silence him.

The internet personalities are also wanted in the UK over alleged sexual offences, which they deny.

This is really fucking weird as the cops don't prosecute people in the UK, that's the CPS' job, and cops definitely don't give a shit about civil offences unless it's cost the force money. If anybody's pursuing them for tax evasion, it should be HMRC but the cops would deal with criminal fraud. I suspect that the article was written by an imbecile who's jumbled up some of the details.

Realistically, unless he wants to live out rest of his life in some shithole in the middle of nowhere, i can't imagine there's more choices than Emirates or Russia.

So apparently Tate won his appeal and is now free to leave Romania. I hate this guy as much as any of you but I fear that he is going to not get charged with anything.

Welp, off he goes then! Can't wait to see which third-world shithole he decides to "grace" with his presence. Other than Romania, I mean.

I seriously don't know why they thought letting him off of house arrest was a good idea and he is clearly going to flea.

I think they know he's out of options. Even if he flees Romania, his entire lifestyle is based on social media and he made the mistake of getting too big and too popular. And fleeing will make him look guilty or make Romania look corrupt for scaring him off (after years of Romania totally being the best, most Christian Country on Earth. Yes, he has fans who unironically believe this).

If he does boldly flee, we need to make a "Where's Waldo?" book for Andrew Tate.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I think the article was written by an imbecile. It should be 'fraud by false representation'. The writer probably says 'irregardless' and shit like that in everyday life.

If Andy thinks the western was too cruel to him, he's not gonna like the justice he gets in the Muslim one
I'm not saying there aren't brothels there, world's oldest profession and all, but when you run afoul of the wrong people, punishment is swift and permanent.

As I said before, if Andy thinks the courts in Britain and Romania are bad, he doesn't wanna face Sharia Law for whoring out the Taliban's daughters

This sand-nigger is drivin' his byuu-gotti as quick as he can across safe borders as we speak. Shame!

Remember, if you ever encounter a Tate-follower, don't tell them what color your Bugatti is, ask them what gender Tate's children are. (he doesn't have children because he is a faggot)

More news:
A lawyer for the controversial influencer Andrew Tate has told a court in London that payments to his online businesses were handled in a “perfectly orthodox” way.

Police are attempting to claim £2.8m in what they say is unpaid tax on the earnings of Mr Tate, his brother Tristan, and a third person known as J.

The court has heard the brothers were “serial” and “brazen” tax evaders – and had earned £21m from online businesses including Only Fans – the website known for pornographic content.

They were accused of having set up a “spaghetti trail” of bank accounts.

Martin Evans KC, for the Tates, on Tuesday said the way they money was moved was “perfectly orthodox”.

“There were transfers into the Tates’ account. That is the beginning, middle and end of it. What there isn’t is a separation," he told the court.

He said the pair had not “cheated” their way to the money and so should be allowed to keep it.

Andrew Tate, 37, and Tristan, 35, were not in court for the two-day hearing.

I found a plausible explanation for the investigation:
some Redditor said:
Probably that “J” as mentioned in the article had some brief foot print in the force area on paper, and that a keen FI has dove headlong into it all, supported by management who have got an eager eye on civil recovery funds.

All gets a bit weird when financial investigators go off on one. Tends to end up as first come first served rather than remit.

some other Redditor said:
Basically Financial Investigators can apply to freeze a bank account if they suspect it holds proceeds of crime. They can apply for the funds to be forfeited if they can prove to a civil standard (more likely than not rather than beyond reasonable doubt).

In this case I suspect that "J" probably has links in the force area. It is simpler for the FI to convince the court that the circumstances around the funds make it likely it was earned from crime or represents evaded tax rather than having to go through the necessary tracing of the funds to work out exactly what tax is due (and in what jurisdictions).

Tracing the funds is likely to be complex as the transfers were almost certainly done in order to make it difficult. I won’t expand on how it can be made difficult as I don’t want to give people ideas.

tl;dr, the cop brass smelled money.
This isn't like civil asset forfeiture in the US, where the cops can commit highway robbery and your seized property has to sue for its return, here the cops have to prove that your property was funded by crime before it can be forfeited under POCA. It can be temporarily seized or your accounts can be frozen while you're being investigated but the burden is on the cops to prove that it's not legit, if they fail to do that you get all your shit back by default.
