The police have arrested the controversial former kickboxer, Andrew Tate over alleged rape, formation of an organized criminal gang and suspicion of human trafficking.
The 36 year social media influencer could be seen in a video, handcuffed and moved from his residence after a police raid, Thursday.
The Informant247 observes that he became much popular this year for his misogynistic and sexist perspectives.
The police have also arrested his 34 year old younger brother, Tristan, along with 2 other suspects.
Report has it that the 4 have been held for 24 hours in Bucharest.
The Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) have commenced investigation into the activities of the Brit, who was given birth to in Washington DC but raised in Luton.
Reports originating from Romania said he and his brother are interrogated for suspicion of creating an organised criminal gang which makes use of girls in adult videos.
Romanian prosecutors revealed that the Tate brothers along with 2 other suspects whose identities were not disclosed “appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content. They would have gained important sums of money.”
Tate’s spokesperson told the Daily Mirror : “We cannot provide any details at the moment regarding alleged reports that they have been detained; however, Andrew and Tristan Tate have the utmost respect for the Romanian authorities and will always assist and help in any way they can.”
The Informant247 also learned that the controversial social media influencer happened to be the most-searched person on the internet earlier 2022 before social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter, as well as YouTube banned him.
He regained his Twitter account as soon as Elon Musk became the Chief Executive Officer, CEO of the tech juggernaut and Tate began posting immediately.
