• e-mail

まっただ中に the fripperies on show at Andrew Tate's palatial Romanian 山腹 郊外住宅, a humble chess board is a stark 思い出の品 of the past he has left behind.

By his own admission, the carved 始める，決める is a nod to the 有毒な influencer's late father, an International Chess Master and former U.S. 空気／公表する 軍隊 sergeant who died in 2015.

Heaven knows what that brilliant man, who learned to speak fluent ロシアの while working in 冷淡な War-時代 Berlin, would have made of his louche eldest son ― arguably both the most loathed and yet, paradoxically, the most popular man on the internet, thanks to his unique brand of misogyny.

Tate, 36, who was raised by his British mother on a 会議 広い地所 in Bedfordshire, has been locked up in a Bucharest 刑務所，拘置所 独房 ever since an 武装した （警察の）手入れ，急襲 on his secret bolthole on the 郊外s of Bucharest on December 29.

He and his younger brother Tristan, 34, are （刑事）被告 of 存在 part of a human trafficking （犯罪の）一味 which used 暴力／激しさ and psychological 圧力 to 軍隊 at least six women to 成し遂げる in sexually explicit ビデオs which were then sold online. によれば Romanian 当局, the pair will be held in 保護／拘留 until the end of January while police continue their 調査s.

支援する in the UK, two women this week also （機の）カム 今後 to 告発する／非難する Tate of 強姦ing and violently 乱用ing them. This 茎・取り除くs from a 事例／患者 in 2015 when Tate was 逮捕（する）d for 強姦 and 性の 強襲，強姦 while running a webcam sex 商売／仕事 out of a dingy flat in Luton.

While Tate 否定するs these 主張s, what is not contested is the vile 毒（薬） that the former kickboxer has been 噴出するing against women 経由で social マスコミ 壇・綱領・公約s, notching up millions of internet 信奉者s, not to について言及する an 概算の £100 million fortune, in the 過程.

Much of that money has been made 経由で his online 'Hustler's University' which, for around £40 a month, 申し込む／申し出s to help students become as rich as Tate and to '解放する／自由な modern man from socially induced incarceration'.

The real mystery lies behind the 創造 of this 'king of 有毒な masculinity'. What could かもしれない have gone so awry in his past 関係s with women, or his しつけ, to create the 肉親，親類d of man who believes that women should '耐える 責任／義務' when men sexually 強襲，強姦 them?

An 調査 by the Mail this week has 暴露するd Tate as a コンビナート／複合体 character, with a 高度に formative past.

For while on the one 手渡す he is descended from a 広大な／多数の／重要な-広大な／多数の／重要な grandmother 解放する／自由なd from slavery at the end of the American Civil War, he is, によれば 親族s, essentially, a 'Mummy's boy' whose family is torn between bemusement and pride at how he's turned out.

On the rundown 1970s Luton 住宅 広い地所 where his mother, Eileen, a former school kitchen assistant, still lives, a family friend said: 'Their mum is proud of Andrew and Tristan, of course she is. Eileen loves her boys.

'Most probably she doesn't like what's going on. What they've been （刑事）被告 of is very serious. I don't think she is happy with what Andrew says, the misogyny.

'She says he says these things for the 返答 he gets ― for the number of 攻撃する，衝突するs on the internet.

'He's always going on about 急速な／放蕩な cars and what a man should be, but Eileen didn't raise him like that. If you say anything to her about it, she'll say, 'That's my boys.' '

Indeed, Eileen is said to have been a たびたび（訪れる） 訪問者 to her sons' Romanian hideway, 事前の to their 逮捕（する）s. によれば the friend, Tate's online persona is nothing like the young man who 熟考する／考慮するd at the town's Halyard High School, and Luton Sixth Form College, before leaving to become a solar パネル盤 salesman.

'He was not the big 'I am,' ' remembers the friend. '非，不，無 of us would have seen any of this coming. His mum was a kitchen assistant in a school when the children were growing up. She gave them the basics.

'What he's 説 on social マスコミ, that women should stay at home, that all this money makes you a man, is so outdated.

'I think the whole family is gobsmacked by what's happened. They don't know how he's become this big social マスコミ 星／主役にする. The family don't like to think the worst of him.'

Eileen herself was not at home this week. The family friend said she was in the U.S., visiting her daughter. Tate has 以前 認める that his sister Janine, a lawyer living in Lexington, Kentucky, is a 'feminist' and doesn't speak to him or his brother.

Eileen met the boys' American father, Emory Tate Junior, in the 中央の 1980s, at a 省 of Defence base, Chicksands in Bedfordshire, which was 存在 used by the U.S. 空気／公表する 軍隊 at the time.

The couple married and moved to Chicago, where their first son was born.

They 指名するd him Emory Andrew Tate III, after his father and grandfather, a trailblazing lawyer who was 拒絶するd by Harvard 法律 School but got into university on the 支援する of his service 記録，記録的な／記録する as a GI during World War II.

Later, the family moved to Berlin where Emory Tate, known as Dennis to his family, served with the 6912th Electronic 安全 Group at Tegel Airport.

A talented linguist, he learnt ロシアの for 知能 目的s. He was also U.S. 武装した 軍隊s chess 支持する／優勝者 five times in the 1980s, a 記録，記録的な／記録する which has still never been beaten.

By the 中央の 1990s, Emory Tate's 指名する was known throughout the 全世界の chess community.

But while he taught his children the game ― Andrew Tate himself has said that he became a chess 支持する／優勝者 老年の five, after （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing a 15-year-old in an under-16 競争 in the U.S . 明言する／公表する of Indiana ― he was frequently absent from home, playing hundreds of games in the US and Europe.

He and Eileen 離婚d in 1997 and she moved with her children 支援する to her hometown, and raised them 選び出す／独身-handedly on the 沼 Farm 広い地所, where she still lives. They remained in の近くに 接触する with their father, 権利 up until his death in the middle of a game at a tournament 近づく San Jose in California in October 2015.

An 調査 by the Mail this week has 暴露するd Tate as a コンビナート／複合体 character, with a 高度に formative past?

But this week, Emory Tate's 65-year-old American cousin, Melvin Cox, told the Mail that the boys' father 'wouldn't have 調印するd off on any of the things they are 説'. Speaking from his home in Montgomery, Alabama, he said: 'As far as I'm 関心d their dad would have 尊敬（する）・点d their 商売／仕事 acumen but he wasn't into misogyny or anything like that. He was a nice guy and a hell of a chess player.

'Their father had nothing to do with what they were doing. He was never 伴う／関わるd in anything they were doing over there, so anything they have created and built up, and the 指名するs they have made for themselves, is all about them.

'Their dad was a 全く separate person. He had a wife and kids, he had a 軍の career and he had chess. That was his life. As far as what they have 遂行するd, I don't know if their father would be proud of any 告示s they've made from their soapbox.'

述べるing the two brothers as 'provocateurs and スパイ／執行官s of 大混乱', he 追加するd: 'What I always thought about the two boys is that they were just in it for the money.

'I choose to think that their most outrageous 声明s are not something they believe in but something they say to get more clicks and more money. I like to think it's not what makes them tick ― it's just 商売／仕事.

'They're not the only ones. People are sheep ― but nobody 非難するs the audience.'

By the time Tate and his 同一の-looking brother were in their 早期に teens they were professional kickboxers. But they were hungry for fame and believed the best way to find it was 経由で reality TV.

Tristan Tate appeared on Channel 4's 'castaway' show Shipwrecked in 2011 と一緒に serial reality TV 星／主役にする Stephen 耐える, another loathsome character who was 罪人／有罪を宣告するd of sex 罪，犯罪s at Chelmsford 栄冠を与える 法廷，裁判所 last month. A 21-year-old Andrew, 一方／合間, appeared on the Channel 4 show Ultimate Traveller, in 2010, but did little to distinguish himself from his fellow contestants as they competed for a £10,000 prize by backpacking around Indonesia on a shoestring.

He was 軍隊d to leave the show 早期に after developing an 注目する，もくろむ ulcer, but not before he'd 宣言するd for the cameras: 'I've never been in a 状況／情勢 in my 21 years of life where I really 手配中の，お尋ね者 something and didn't get it. My 計画（する） is to 嘘（をつく） and cheat my way through this 競争.'

His next TV 外見 was on Channel 5's Big Brother in 2016 but he was kicked off after a ビデオ 現れるd showing him （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing his ex-girlfriend with a belt. At the time he （人命などを）奪う，主張するd that they were taking part in consensual 役割 play.

But によれば 報告（する）／憶測s this week, the real 推論する／理由 for his 追放 was that 生産者s were 接触するd by Hertfordshire Police and told about their 現在進行中の 性の 強襲，強姦 調査, 関心ing two women working in the webcam 商売／仕事 in Luton. Even so, it took five days to 除去する him, during which time he was seen playing truth or dare in the hot tub and kissing one of the 女性（の） contestants.

Officers took four years to pass their 調査 to the CPS, who 最終的に 拒絶する／低下するd to 起訴する Tate.

This week, Hertfordshire Police 定評のある that there were 'some 延期するs to the 調査', 追加するing: 'This was 演説（する）／住所d at the time and 陳謝s were made.'

The CPS said that it 'carefully reviewed the 証拠' but 結論するd that it 'did not 会合，会う our 合法的な 実験（する）' ― にもかかわらず the fact that one of the women was 証言，証人／目撃する to the other's 強姦.

Disturbingly, however, the women's （人命などを）奪う，主張するs of 乱用, while 存在 paid £15-an-hour to work for Tate's webcam sex 商売／仕事, are the same as the （人命などを）奪う，主張するs for which Tate is now 存在 調査／捜査するd.

Romanian 当局 are 調査（する）ing 主張s that Tate and his brother 誘惑するd women to their £600,000 コンビナート／複合体 using what is known as the 'loverboy method', 誤って （人命などを）奪う，主張するing to be in love with impressionable young women and using emotional and physical 支配（する）／統制する to 軍隊 them to 参加する porn ビデオs.

One of the women, calling herself Sally, （人命などを）奪う，主張するd in 副／悪徳行為 World News that she was strangled by Tate on at least five occasions and saw him choke other women on at least ten occasions. She said she and another girl would wake up with 示すs around their 注目する，もくろむs 原因（となる）d by burst 血 大型船s.

Tate has 誇るd 率直に about the 'loverboy' approach on since-削除するd sections of his website. His online course the 'Pimpin' 売春婦s Degree' 教えるd men how to 新採用する women for webcam work using 巧みな操作.

'My 職業 was to 会合，会う a girl, go on a few dates, sleep with her, 実験（する） if she's 質. Get her to 落ちる in love with me to where she'd do anything I say, and then get her on webcam so we could become rich together.'

It's 'instructional' ビデオs like these that educationists have 警告するd are fuelling vile sexism and misogyny, disguised as male 'self-help' の中で a 世代 of impressionable teenage boys.

For while British parents are ありそうもない to have heard of Tate until the 劇の events of the past week, millions of youngsters have become obsessed with his monied lifestyle, which is 定期的に paraded 経由で online images of the man himself, 覆う？ in designer 着せる／賦与するs, travelling on board 私的な jets or in million-続けざまに猛撃する sports cars, …を伴ってd by beautiful women and bundles of cash.

His message is as simple as it is dangerous: if men follow his example, they too can have his life.

His move to Romania, he 認める, was partly to escape 自由主義の Western society, where 性の 強襲，強姦 （人命などを）奪う，主張するs against men were taken more 本気で.

'In eastern Europe, 非，不，無 of this garbage 飛行機で行くs,' he said in one ビデオ clip. 'If you go to the police and say 'He 強姦d me 支援する in 1988', they'll say '井戸／弁護士席 you should have done something about it then.' '

The last time Melvin Cox saw his cousin's sons was in October 2015, at Emory Tate's funeral which, he says, was a '祝賀' of his life.

Afterwards, Andrew Tate, then still 焦点（を合わせる）d on his career as a kick boxer, said: 'My dad taught me everything. 絶対 everything. And my fighting style in the （犯罪の）一味 mimics his on the board.'

He once 述べるd his father as 'a man who was at home in his own 肌. He didn't need or want a car or a little garden to feel at home. He was happy anywhere . . . he didn't have a lot of 構成要素 所有／入手s but he was a genius. Make no mistake ― not only in chess, at everything.'

The life he has chosen for himself couldn't be more different.
