Last month, Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in Romania on new sex assault allegations

Andrew Tate was caught speeding whilst on bail for rape and human traffic charges in Romania.

Tate, 37, was driving above the limit of 80mph in his £314k Aston Martin before being apprehended by the police.


The shamed influencer, who was driving at speeds of 100mph, was fined £172 for the offence.

The 37-year-old was driving an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera 700 - the fastest car the brand produces.

An insider told The Sun: “Andrew Tate does not care at all about respecting Romanian laws and he does not realise the consequences of breaking the Romanian laws, no matter if it is about human trafficking or exceeding the speed limits on roads.”

It is understood to be the third time in five years that Tate has exceeded the Romanian speed limit.

Valer Kovacs, the officer who pulled over Tate, said he wanted people to know that even celebrities like Tate were not above the law.

“The law applies to all personalities,” he said.

Kovacs said that Tristan, 35, Tate’s younger brother, was just ahead of Andrew on the road, driving the same type of vehicle but in a different colour.

Last month, both brothers were arrested in the Romanian capital Bucharest on behalf of Bedfordshire Police on new sex assault allegations, which they “categorically” deny.

The pair were indicted for rape and human trafficking charges in Romania in June last year.

A Romanian court has approved the UK’s request to extradite the Tates, however, they will only return to the UK once the trial has concluded.

The Tates strongly deny the allegations made against them, with Andrew claiming he is a victim of “The Matrix”.

Andrew, a self-proclaimed misogynist, told reporters outside court: “Unfortunately I don't think many people in Romania understand, but in the West, in the countries that are owned by the satanists, when you get to a certain level of fame you either put on a dress or you go to jail and I'm happy to make my choice which is jail every single time, my soul is not for sale neither are my principles.

The Tates had been held in police custody pending the criminal investigation between December 2022 and April 2023 – and had been placed under house arrest until August last year – to prevent them from leaving Romania or tampering with evidence.

Since last summer, and the end of their house arrest, the duo have been under ‘judicial control’ – a lighter measure which requires regular police check-ins, but still keeps them in the country.

The rise of Andrew Tate has caused much concern for commentators and teachers, particularly among young men and boys.

A YouGov poll found 27 per cent of men aged 18 to 29 hold a favourable view of the misogynist.

A separate survey revealed 23 per cent of boys aged 13 to 15 hold a positive view.
