Sarah Clarke KC and Aaron Rathmell act for Devon and Cornwall Police in additional successful Account Forfeiture application against Andrew and Tristan Tate

19th August 2025


Sarah Clarke KC and Aaron Rathmell act for Devon and Cornwall Police in additional successful Account Forfeiture application against Andrew and Tristan Tate.

This related to £180,000 which Andrew Tate paid to Aston Martin in 2021 as a deposit for a special edition Valhalla supercar.  The Chief Magistrate sitting at Westminster Magistrate’s Court ordered forfeiture on the basis that the funds derived from tax and VAT evasion and money laundering.  This brings the total funds forfeited by Devon and Cornwall Police from the Tate brothers to £2,869,241.63.

The case received widespread media coverage, here and here.
