BREAKING: Andrew Tate detained for 24 hours in Romania after police raid: Romanian news

According to the Romania outlet Libertatea, the Tates were detained for 24 hours following a raid conducted by the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism, or DIICOT.

Footage shows one of the brothers being escorted from a building by BSIJ special forces in handcuffs, and being placed in a car.

According to Antena 3 CNN, the two brothers are being investigated for human trafficking.

Tate, a former kickboxer-turned-media personality, has said in the past that he and his brother, Tristan, made millions using webcam girls to sell "sob" stories.

From the Mirror: Andrew said one model they took to Bucharest used the name Chloe. Viewers were told she was in London – making her seem more attainable to UK men."

Andrew added: “Four dollars a minute to keep her company was a good deal, however, she made her real money because men fell in love with her and believed her fake story and tipped thousands to keep her attention and stop other men seeing her.

"Even when the face of the personality was sleeping, our girls behind the scenes would use ‘Chloe’s’ phone and constantly work on the relationships with her ‘boyfriends’.

“It’s a total scam. The model just has their hands on a keyboard that isn’t even plugged in. I have real professionals who are fluent in English behind the scenes getting men hooked, finding out their interests, the name of their dog."

Tate's estate had previously been raided in April of 2022 after Romanian authorities received a tip that an American woman may have been held there against her will. He was released after being interrogated, and would later tell Tucker Carlson during an interview that it was an instance of "SWATing"
