Devon and Cornwall Police are putting nearly £3 million seized from infamous influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate into projects tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG).
How the Cash Was Snatched
Back in December 2024, the police won a civil forfeiture order stripping the Tates of over £2.9 million in assets. The force proved the duo had dodged tax and laundered money through Devon-based bank accounts. The earnings, raked in between 2014 and 2022, had no tax or VAT paid, according to Westminster Magistrates Court.

Both brothers tried to mask their funds by funneling money through ‘front’ accounts – a clear case of criminal activity. That money was officially classified as proceeds of crime.
£1 Million Back in Police Hands
Since the landmark ruling, more than £1 million of the seized cash has returned to the police for local reinvestment.
“Our work to seize the money from the Tate brothers was diligent and showed our commitment to not allowing criminality to operate in Devon and Cornwall,” said a Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman.
