She is alleged to have been sheltered in a building in Luton, Bedfordshire, for sexual exploitation by Andrew.DIICOT investigators allege Andrew controlled her through surveillance and physical aggression and coerced her to perform sex acts on video chats for his financial gain.He is also accused of moving her to Romania to carry on exploiting her in two of his homes.Andrew is separately charged with having sex with a minor, who was 15, in Romania.Prosecutors have also requested four of the brothers' luxury cars worth £710,000 are confiscated. They believe money was laundered through their purchase.It is not yet clear if DIICOT will seek their extradition from the US, and the indictment has to be examined by a judge before any trial can open.The Tates have denied all the allegations and say their online personas are not their real personalities.Their lawyer Eugen Constantin Vidineac said: "Today's decision by DIICOT does not determine guilt and it should not be presented as though it does. It represents the prosecution's latest attempt to bring this case before a court following the failure of its previous indictment to proceed to trial.
