Yet another day, yet another bad news for Andrew Tate as the controversial influencer has once again been arrested over UK sex offense charges.
As per the AFP, the British-American influencer was arrested along with his brother Tristan by Romanian police. They were presented in a Bucharest court on Tuesday, following their arrest on Monday evening at their home.
The brothers lived in their home under judicial supervision in a separate case. Coming back to the case, the Bucharest court is expected to decide the bother’s fate at the latest whether to extend their detention this evening.
What is he accused of in Romania?
As per The New York Times, prosecutors in filed an indictment was filed against Tate and his brother last June in Romania, accusing them and two Romanian women of forming an organized criminal group in 2021 and trafficking women across Romania, Britain, and the United States.
As per Romanian authorities, the two are facing European arrest warrants issued by the UK judicial authorities for the committing of sexual offences, of exploitation of persons on the territory of the UK.
Tate’s stance
Tate on the other hand categorically rejected the charges during the court hearing, he also rejected the allegations brought against him in the UK as ‘sloppy’, saying he and his brother did not want to be extradited.
Tate originally gained fame in 2016 as a visitor on the reality series “Big Brother” in the U.K., when he was criticized for homophobic and racial remarks posted on Twitter. He was ultimately fired from the program after a video leaked showing him seeming to belt a woman. Tate and the woman said they had consented to their behavior.
Since then, he has grown a fan base online by dispensing financial and masculine advice. He was suspended from Twitter in May 2017 before being allowed to rejoin by Elon Musk, who had just bought the social media site the year before.
