Devon and Cornwall Police have confiscated £180,000 from Andrew Tate, the controversial British-American influencer, after a UK court ruled the funds were linked to tax evasion and money laundering.

The amount was seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act and represents a deposit Tate paid in 2021 for a limited-edition Aston Martin Valhalla supercar.

According to Westminster Magistrates’ Court, the money originated from a Coinbase cryptocurrency account connected to Tate and his brother Tristan’s online businesses. Authorities confirmed that no tax or VAT had been paid on these funds.

This latest seizure adds to the £2.7 million already confiscated in December 2024, when the Tate brothers were found to have evaded taxes on £21 million in online revenue, some of which was linked to alleged human trafficking operations in Romania.

Police officials said the seized money will be reinvested to fight crime, support victims, and fund community projects across Devon and Cornwall.
