Former kickboxing world champion turned Tik Tok star, Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have reportedly been arrested in Romania in connection to a probe into human trafficking, organised crime, and rape.
Prosecutors from the Directorate for the Investigation of Organised Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) in conjunction with the Bucharest Organised Crime Brigade carried out search warrant raids of five residences on Thursday reportedly including on the Tate mansion in the Romanian capital.
“So far, six injured persons have been identified who were sexually exploited by the organised criminal group. With regard to the crime of rape, it was noted that, in March 2022, an injured person was forced, on two different occasions, by a suspect through the exercise of physical violence and psychological pressure to have sexual relations,” a police statement read.
The statement did not mention Andrew or Tristan Tate, however, it refers to “two British citizens”, which reports from Romanian media have claimed are the Tates. The British-American social media influencers were born in the United States before moving with their British mother to Luton, England as children.
