Are the UK tax authorities aggressive? (regarding Andrew Tate)

[ChadMuska]

I don't get it. Are the UK tax authorities this friendly? From what I've read, if it were the US or Spain, wouldn't he be looking at a severe jail sentence? From this article, it appears that he didn't have a business entity but just channeled money from one privately owned bank account to another without even reporting it. Also, why isn't Romania claiming that he's a tax resident there as well?

Devon and Cornwall Police's lawyers told the court that Andrew Tate had publicly declared he had not paid tax in the UK, and that his approach had been to "ignore, ignore, ignore because in the end they go away".
The force had argued that the brothers' traceable earnings of £21m between 2014 and 2022 seemingly came about despite the men having "no significant qualifications, business experience, established companies, shares, intellectual property or similar assets".

"But for these purposes, I am satisfied that none of these funds were declared to the tax authorities in either the UK or Romania."
He said this supported his conclusion that the brothers' "entire financial arrangements are consistent with concerted tax evasion and money laundering".
When the pair were initially accused of hiding the cash from tax authorities, they had told the court they would rely on evidence from an expert accountant.
That plan was later abandoned and Judge Goldspring said they ultimately provided no evidence to counter the police's allegation.
Devon and Cornwall Police said it welcomed the judge's decision.
A force spokesperson said: "From the outset we have aimed to demonstrate that Andrew and Tristan Tate evaded taxes and laundered money through bank accounts located in Devon.
"Both individuals are alleged to have concealed the origins of their income by channelling money through 'front' accounts, constituting criminal activity and rendering those earnings proceeds of crime.
