Andrew Tate, alongside his brother Tristan Tate and two others, has been arrested on charges of human trafficking, rape, and organized crimes, the BBC reports. According to the outlet, the arrest happened during a police raid at the building where the siblings were staying in the nation’s capital, Bucharest. “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,” the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) explained in a statement. According to Mirror, Andrew and Tristan’s arrest comes only a few months after they were questioned by the police on suspicion of holding some women against their will.
Per TMZ, Andrew unknowingly notified Romanian officials of his whereabouts after responding to climate activist Greta Thunberg’s diss in a video featuring a box of pizza from Jerry’s Pizza, a popular pizza company in Romania. As expected, the YouTuber’s arrest has sparked conversation among social media users who have continued to share their thoughts. “Andrew Tate with the super last minute entry for the biggest self-inflicted L of 2022,” one person tweeted. “Andrew Tate’s arrest is a great reminder than men who are willing to post violent, misogynistic comments online are probably not champions of free speech but could just be … violent misogynists!!!,” a second user wrote.
