Noted influencer and infamous Internet personality Andrew Tate was reportedly detained in Romania again. The former kickboxer along with his brother and business partner Tristan Tate were reportedly issued warrants by the UK for their arrests after being accused of s*xual offences on charges that covered from 2012 to 2015.
Tate’s spokesperson reportedly stated that the brothers denied all allegations and mentioned that they would be challenging them. This was the second time the brothers were arrested in the recent past, as the Tate brothers were previously detained in 2022 and were under house arrest until 2023. The recent detention seems to have even annoyed the fans of the controversial figure.
Why Was Andrew Tate Arrested Again?
Earlier today, BBC News reported that infamous influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate were detained by Romanian authorities. The authorities reportedly issued warrants for the arrest of the Tate brothers in connection with s*xual offense allegations made against them between the years 2012 and 2015.
The news portal reported that the offenses also constituted allegations of ‘exploiting the people of Great Britain’. While an investigation was pending, a spokesperson for Andrew Tate and his brother mentioned that they would challenge the accusations and denied all charges. The duo were reportedly ordered to be detained for 24 hours by a prosecutor at the Bucharest Court of Appeals.
Sky News reported that the arrest warrants were issued by the Westminster Magistrates Court in London and that an investigation was pending into the charges filed. The Tate Brothers have been arrested in Romania before and were detained back in 2022 on serious charges of r*pe and human trafficking.
The statement released by Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate’s spokesperson, released by BBC News were as follows,
“They categorically reject all charges and express profound disappointment that such serious allegations are being resurrected without substantial new evidence. They are fully committed to challenging these accusations with unwavering determination and resolve.”
The brothers, especially Andrew Tate have been accused of misogynistic comments and spreading toxic masculinity on TikTok where the former kickboxer had millions of followers. He was also reportedly banned from YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram (via Sky News).
