Andrew Tate, a current vile misogynist and former kickboxer, was supposedly detained in Romania. The semi-social media influencer has catapulted into the limelight for the second time in as many days.
He bizarrely boasted about his fleet of vehicles in a tweet to teen environmentalist Greta Thunberg on December 27 and offered to send her a full list. She responded by tweeting, “Yes, enlighten me, please. contact me by email at smalldickenergy@getalife.com.”
Even though Tate was kicked into space by Thunberg, it’s hard to think he still had the strength to get himself arrested. Does it stand to reason that each repulsive threat he has made against women was more than just a threat? People always identify themselves to you, after all.
Why was Andrew Tate detained, and can he be held in Romania?
Why was Andrew Tate arrested?
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan “have been detained in Romania on human sex-trafficking claims,” according to TMZ via the Romanian daily Libertatea. The Libertatea said that the siblings were facing charges of rape and kidnapping. The Tate brothers are reportedly seen on camera “being escorted out of a building by police in handcuffs and into a waiting vehicle.”
It was nearly a chef’s kiss moment when Tate was half captured. Tate released a two-minute rambling video in reaction to Thunberg’s tweet in which he is seen smoking too m any cigars and not donning enough robe. Tate receives pizza as he tries to make fun of a 19-year-old who is concerned about our earth. Authorities were able to find him, according to the accepted working assumption, because they recognised the pizza shop’s name from the boxes. We anticipate its appearance in a Law & Order episode because we cannot make this stuff up.
Thank you for confirming via your email address that you have a small penis @GretaThunberg
Tate was already under investigation for human trafficking.
Tate’s arrest actually had little to do with pizza. According to reports from Romania, Tate, 36, and his brother are reportedly being questioned on suspicion of forming an organised crime group that used women in adult videos. The Daily Mirror reported that Tate was “under investigation by the Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT)” The purported kidnapping of two girls in Romania led to this arrest.
Tate and his brother had been the subject of suspicion before. When “police apparently located two girls who claimed they were being held against their will,” authorities detained the brothers in April 2022. Although they were both freed, police continued to keep a tight eye on the twins.
The Daily Mirror reports that according to Romanian authorities, Tate, his brother, and two other people “appear to have constructed an organised crime gang with the objective of recruiting, housing, and exploiting women by compelling them to produce pornographic content.” Although they “cannot share any facts at the time about claimed rumours that [the Tates] have been detained,” a spokeswoman for Tate and his brother told the Daily Mirror that they “have the utmost respect for the Romanian authorities and would always cooperate and help in any way they can.”
