Was Andrew Tate Arrested?

Shoot me an email at [email protected] “and the social media platform Twitter exploded.

More than that… Authorities in Romania may have tracked down Tate when he made a video in reaction to Thunberg’s tweet that featured pizza boxes from Jerry’s Pizza, a chain with locations in Romania.

Apparently, a representative for Tate told the Daily Mirror, “We cannot provide any details at the moment regarding alleged reports that they have been detained; however, Andrew and Tristan Tate have the utmost respect for the Romanian authorities and will always assist and help in any way they can.”

The siblings were released, but authorities continued to monitor their whereabouts.

Prosecutors in Romania have accused Tate, his brother, and two other unidentified individuals of “appearing to have constructed an organized crime gang with the objective of recruiting, lodging, and exploiting women by forcing them to generate pornographic content,” as reported by the Daily Mirror.

In a statement to the Daily Mirror, a representative for Tate and his brother said, “We cannot provide any details at the moment regarding alleged reports that [the Tates] have been detained; however, Andrew and Tristan Tate have the utmost respect for the Romanian authorities and will always assist and help in any way we can.”
