Controversial influencer Andrew Tate was detained by Romanian police late Thursday night on charges of rape, human trafficking, and forming an organized crime group. Tate’s brother, Tristan Tate, and two others were also arrested. 

For Context: Romanian authorities alleged that Tate had formed a gang to lure in women and force them to perform in pornography “through physical violence and mental coercion.” Tate is rumored to have been caught due to a video he made in response to climate activist Greta Thunberg on Twitter, in which a pizza box from a Romanian restaurant was visible. 

Who Is Andrew Tate? Tate is an online influencer known for promoting a hyper-masculine lifestyle and making derogatory statements about women, such as saying rape victims should “bear responsibility” for their attacks and comparing women to dogs who should “obey.” Tate also said “probably 40% of the reason” he moved from the U.K. to Romania was because it would be easier to avoid rape charges. While he was banned from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube in August, Tate’s content has been viewed billions of times on these platforms. 

How the Media Covered It: Coverage differed starkly in its descriptions of Tate’s rhetoric. While outlets like BuzzFeed News (Left bias) and NBC News (Lean Left bias) said directly that he had spread “misogynistic” views, Fox News (Right bias) said he had “been accused of sexism and drawing criticism from the left after advocating for traditional gender roles.” The Daily Wire (Right bias) only described him as an “online personality.”

Incendiary social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother were busted in Romania Thursday related to sex-trafficking allegations, according to a report.

Police in tactical gear descended on a villa where Andrew Tate and brother Tristan were staying Thursday to detain the British brothers on kidnapping and rape charges, judicial sources told Romanian outlet Libertatea.

Video shows the officers with battering rams and guns sweeping through the dark villa before escorting Tate into a car.

Romanian prosecutors asked a Bucharest court on Friday to extend the detention of Andrew Tate by 30 days, after the divisive internet personality was arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group.

Tate, a former professional kickboxer, and his brother Tristan were detained on Thursday for an initial for 24 hours alongside two Romanian suspects, prosecutors from the anti organised-crime unit said in a statement after raiding their properties in Bucharest.

Andrew Tate, an internet influencer known for spreading deeply misogynistic views, was reportedly arrested and detained in Bucharest, Romania, on Thursday in connection with a human trafficking investigation.

Romanian police executed search warrants and arrested four suspects ― two British and two Romanian nationals ― with suspected involvement in human trafficking, rape and forming an organized crime group, according to the country’s Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism.
