By Reuters: Romanian prosecutors stated on Thursday they’ve detained divisive web character and former skilled kickboxer Andrew Tate on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group.

Tate, banned from many social media platforms for misogynistic feedback and hate speech, and his brother Tristan will probably be detained for twenty-four hours alongside two Romanian suspects, prosecutors from the anti organised-crime unit stated in a press release after raiding their properties in Bucharest.

The Tate brothers have been below prison investigation since April. They declined to remark however their lawyer confirmed they’d been detained.

“The four suspects … appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost,” prosecutors stated.

“They would have gained important sums of money.”

Prosecutors stated they’d discovered six ladies who had been sexually exploited by the suspects. Tate has stated ladies are partially liable for being raped and that they belong to males.
