Bank transfers made by influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were “entirely orthodox”, their lawyer has said.

Martin Evans KC told Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday that it was to be expected that a number of payments would be made out of their Stripe account – a payment platform used to deal with revenue from their online businesses.
