Police Took Andrew Tate’s Aston Hypercar Deposit Before He Could Even Record | Carscoops

      The Tate brothers did not challenge the decision to confiscate the deposit for the Aston Martin.

      According to reports, Tate moved the deposit from a Coinbase cryptocurrency account.

      UK authorities asserted that no taxes or VAT had been paid on the money linked to the Aston Martin.

      In December, British police confiscated $3.6 million from Tate due to unpaid taxes.

      Andrew Tate, a controversial internet personality known for flaunting his collection of over 70 luxury vehicles, including two Koenigsegg Jeskos and a Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport, now faces a significant setback. UK authorities have seized a £180,000 ($244,000) deposit he made on an Aston Martin Valhalla, claiming the funds are connected to tax evasion and money laundering.

      The Westminster Magistrates’ Court indicated that Tate paid the deposit in July 2021. The funds sent to Aston Martin were transferred from a Coinbase cryptocurrency account supposedly associated with the business activities of Andrew and his brother Tristan. Sarah Clarke KC, representing Devon and Cornwall Police, noted that neither taxes nor VAT had been paid on those funds.

      Continuing Financial Investigation

      This is not the first instance of UK authorities taking action against the Tates. In December, officials seized almost £2.7 million ($3.6 million) from the brothers, spread across seven frozen bank accounts. Investigators claim the Tates failed to pay taxes on about £21 million ($28 million) earned from their online businesses.

      “This recent judgment follows our applications against the Tate brothers, which led to a successful ruling in December 2024 and the forfeiture of nearly £2.7 million in criminal funds,” Deputy Superintendent Jon Bancroft told the Independent.

      “Our goal has always been to prove that Andrew and Tristan Tate evaded their tax responsibilities and laundered money. We have accomplished that, and we have done so again this week,” he added.

      As reported by the BBC, neither Andrew nor Tristan contested the orders. Under the Proceeds of Crime Act, the seized funds will be redirected to aid communities, support vulnerable individuals, and assist crime victims.

      Legal Challenges Beyond Financial Issues

      This is not the only legal trouble Tate is facing in the UK. He is also set to go to trial next year following allegations of rape and sexual violence involving four women.
