British prosecutors have approved 21 charges for social media influencer and self-described misogynist Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan including rape and human trafficking.
Andrew Tate, 38, faces 10 charges relating to three women, while Tristan Tate, 36, faces 11 charges relating to one woman.
In a statement released on Wednesday, local time, the UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed for the first time it had "authorised" the charges.
The charges relate to alleged offences that took place between 2012 and 2015.
Both men face charges of rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking, while Andrew Tate faces the additional offence of controlling prostitution for gain.
The CPS said it authorised the charges after receiving a "file of evidence" from police in Bedfordshire, an area about 80 kilometres north of London.
The siblings are dual British and US citizens, but had been living in Romania until earlier this year, where they are also facing criminal charges.
Last year, a Romanian court ordered the extradition of Andrew and Tristan Tate to the UK.
However, before that can happen, Britain's CPS said the pair's legal affairs on the continent must be settled.
"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendants have the right to a fair trial," it said in a statement.
"It is extremely important that there be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."
In February, the Tate brothers were granted permission to leave house arrest in Romania.
They now live in Florida, although to meet their bail conditions, they must return to the European nation regularly.
During a trip in March, Andrew Tate told reporters "innocent men don't run from anything".
Romanian authorities have accused Andrew Tate of rape and human trafficking, and Tristan of human trafficking.
The brothers deny all charges.
They also face a civil case in the UK brought by three women.
Both men have amassed millions of followers across multiple social media platforms where they flash their lavish lifestyles.
Their statements about women have attracted controversy.
