A total of £180,000 has been seized by Devon and Cornwall Police from Andrew Tate over a deposit he placed on an Aston Martin supercar.
Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard on Thursday the social media influencer paid the deposit for a special-edition Valhalla vehicle in 2021.
The cash came from tax evasion and money laundering, the force said, which obtained account freezing and forfeiture orders under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Tate and his brother Tristan did not oppose the orders.
The sum can be added to the £2.7m of funds seized from the brothers by the force in December 2024 after the same court ruled they failed to pay tax on £21m of revenue from online businesses.
Some of the revenue in that case was directly linked by detectives to allegations of human trafficking that the brothers face in Romania.
