Andrew Tate’s brother Tristan donates hundreds to UK rioter’s household fundraiser
The younger brother of the controversial Andrew Tate has donated thousands to a fundraiser helping a man jailed over a recent anti-migrant riot.
Tristan Tate, 36, gave £2,500 to an online crowdfunding page set up to help the family of Dominic Capaldi, who was arrested after throwing missiles at police officers.
Capaldi, of Bishopsworth, Bristol, was sentenced this week to 34 months in prison due to his involvement in a clash between right-wing groups and counter-protesters earlier this month in Bristol following the Southport stabbings of three young girls.

The rioter was caught on body cameras shouting: “Send them back” and throwing items at police officers who were trying to prevent protesters from gaining entry to a hotel being used to house asylum seekers, as reported by the Independent.

The Crowdfunder page reads: “Dom was arrested and rushed through the courts, before being handed a 34-month prison sentence for attending a demonstration in Bristol he felt he needed to, relating to the safety of his children’s future.
“Unfortunately he leaves a wife and children as well as an unpaid mortgage. Please dig deep if you can and help his family through this ridiculous time. Any donations are greatly appreciated – thankyou.”

The fundraiser for the dad has passed its target with Tristian donating £2,500. For many, this won’t come as a surprising move by the younger Tate brother – with the siblings being infamously known for their racist and sexist views.
Both Tristian and Andrew are currently awaiting a trial after being charged with rape, forming an organised crime group and human trafficking in Romania. The brothers deny the allegations.

Many have taken to social media to criticise the fundraiser and what it stands for. One person said: “Tip: don’t throw missiles at police when you’ve got a family and a mortgage to take care of.”
Where another added: “Pled guilty to violent disorder. That is what the poster here leaves out.”
