British police can seize more than $3 million (2.6 million pounds) from Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate for years of unpaid taxes, an English court ruled on Wednesday.

Police in Devon and Cornwall appealed to the cour,t claiming that money held in frozen bank accounts from the Tates should be seized due to “serial” tax evasion.

Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring ruled on Wednesday that the financial transactions of the brothers were a “straightforward cheat” of British tax laws. The brothers transferred nearly $12 million into an account under the name of an individual called J, according to the Associated Press. 

“I am satisfied on the balance of probabilities that they have engaged in long-standing, deliberate conduct in order to evade their tax,” said Goldspring in his ruling. Due to the fact the trial is a civil case, the burden of proof  needed to rule against the Tates was lower than it otherwise might have been.

An attorney for the police accused the Tate brothers of being “serial” tax evaders who refused  to pay tax on 21 million pounds of revenue on multiple online business ventures from 2014 to 2022.

Andrew Tate has responded to the latest ruling by accusing British authorities of “outright theft” while claiming police seized “everything they could” during the case.

“This is not justice; it’s a coordinated attack on anyone who dares to challenge the system,” Tate said. “This raises serious questions about the lengths authorities will go to silence dissent.
