Andrew and Tristan Tate have asked the High Court to review the Crown Prosecution Service's (CPS) decision to keep the identities of the people accusing them of rape and human trafficking secret.

Andrew 與 Tristan Tate 已請求高等法院審核皇家檢控署 (CPS) 的決定，該決定將指控他們強姦及人口販運的人員身份保持秘密。

The legal dispute focuses on the CPS's decision not to give the names of the accusers to the defendants, who are currently living in Romania. Stephen Parkinson, the Director of Public Prosecutions, emphasized that because Andrew Tate has ten million followers on X, there is a high risk that the identities of vulnerable witnesses could be leaked. Consequently, the CPS argues that the names will only be revealed after the defendants are extradited to the United Kingdom.

這場法律爭議的焦點在於 CPS 決定不將指控者的姓名提供給目前居住在羅馬尼亞的被告。公訴長 Stephen Parkinson 強調，由於 Andrew Tate 在 X 上擁有一千萬名追隨者，弱勢證人的身份極有可能被洩露。因此，CPS 主張只有在被告被引渡至英國後，才會揭露姓名。

On the other hand, the Tates' lawyer, Sallie Bennett-Jenkins KC, asserted that withholding this information violates the defendants' right to a fair trial under the European Convention on Human Rights. The defense argues that the CPS is making an unfair assumption based on the brothers' public image rather than actual evidence. Furthermore, they pointed out that the CPS rejected an offer of a £20,000 financial guarantee to ensure the names remained secret. The brothers, who face 21 charges from 2012 to 2016, maintain their innocence and claim they are being treated differently than other famous defendants.

另一方面，Tates 的律師 Sallie Bennett-Jenkins KC 主張，隱瞞此資訊違反了《歐洲人權公約》中被告獲得公正審判的權利。辯方認為，CPS 是根據兩兄弟的公眾形象而非實際證據而做出不公平的假設。此外，他們指出 CPS 拒絕了一項 2 萬英鎊的財務擔保，該擔保旨在確保姓名維持秘密。面對 2012 年至 2016 年間 21 項指控的兩兄弟維持清白聲明，並聲稱他們受到的待遇與其他名人被告不同。

Mr Justice Chamberlain and the High Court are expected to provide a written decision on this application by the end of the week.

Chamberlain 法官與高等法院預計將在本週結束前，就此申請提供一份書面決定。
