Social media influencer and brother among six detained for crimes including trafficking and sexual exploitation of minors
A Romanian court has ordered Andrew Tate to be placed under house arrest, his representative said, after he was among six people taken into custody in an investigation into human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
The former professional kickboxer and his brother Tristan were among six people detained on Wednesday for an initial 24 hours after Romanias anti-organised crime prosecuting unit, Diicot, conducted four house searches in Ilfov county and the Bucharest municipality.
The Tates salute the decision and firmly deny all allegations levelled against them, emphasising that the accusations are baseless and unsupported by substantial evidence, Petrescu wrote in a statement.
The Tate brothers were previously indicted in mid-2023, along with two Romanian women, for human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, allegations they denied.
