Investigation into Alleged Human Trafficking Scheme Led to Andrew Tate's Arrest
Recent news reports have revealed that former kickboxer Andrew Tate, a British citizen, and resident of Romania, has been arrested on charges of rape and human trafficking. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at the case and examine what it means for those accused of such horrific crimes in Romania.
Ex-kickboxer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been detained in Romania on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group. Romania's anti-organized crime unit raided their properties in Bucharest and has requested that the court extend their detention for 30 days.
Prosecutors said in a statement Thursday night that "the four suspects ... appear to have created an organized crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialized websites for a cost."
Tate has gained notoriety for his misogynistic comments, and social media platforms have banned him in the past. He was recently called out by climate activist Greta Thunberg on Twitter for his lack of recycling. However, it is not believed that the pizza boxes featured in a video he posted on Wednesday had any part to play in his arrest.
