Devon and Cornwall Police have seized £180,000 from Andrew Tate after a court heard the funds were linked to tax evasion and money laundering.
The money had been paid as a deposit for a limited-edition Aston Martin Valhalla supercar.
Westminster Magistrates’ Court granted account freezing and forfeiture orders, adding to the nearly £2.7 million in criminal assets already confiscated from Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan since December 2024.
The latest orders were submitted on the same grounds as previous applications, which found the brothers had engaged in deliberate and dishonest tax evasion.
The Tates did not contest the most recent orders. According to court submissions, the deposit originated from a Coinbase cryptocurrency account containing multiple digital currencies purchased through their business activities. The funds had not been subject to tax or VAT and were channelled through bank accounts previously identified in earlier court cases.
Police confirmed that this latest outcome follows a successful ruling in December 2024, which resulted in the forfeiture of millions in criminal proceeds. The force stated that it will continue to pursue illicit funds relentlessly, ensuring assets gained through unlawful means are recovered.
Under the Proceeds of Crime Act, the seized money will be allocated to community projects, support for victims, and services for vulnerable people, with half transferred to the Treasury for public service funding.
Andrew Tate, a former professional kickboxer, faces a High Court civil trial next summer over allegations of rape and sexual violence made by four women. Both he and his brother are also due to stand trial in Romania over charges including human trafficking, sexual activity with a minor, and money laundering.
