Andrew Tate detained in Romania over human trafficking case

Controversial online influencer Andrew Tate has reportedly been detained in Romania as part of a human trafficking and rape investigation.

Mr Tate - who was detained alongside his brother Tristan - had his house raided in the capital, Bucharest.

A lawyer for the brothers confirmed their detention, Reuters said.

The former kickboxer rose to fame in 2016 when he was removed from British TV show Big Brother over a video which appeared to show him attacking a woman.

He went on to gain notoriety online, with Twitter banning him for saying women should "bear responsibility" for being sexually assaulted. He has since been reinstated.

"The four suspects ... appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost," prosecutors said, according to the Reuters news agency.

The brothers have been under investigation since April alongside two Romanian nationals.

Video circulated widely on social media appears to show Mr Tate and his brother being led away from a luxury villa.

Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) issued a statement, but did not name the Tate brothers, stating that two British citizens and two Romanian citizens were suspected of being part of a criminal group focused on human trafficking.

It also released a video of the raid, showing guns, knives, and money on display in one room.

today's a good day guys

an absolutely insane way to end this year 

[gothicprep]

i've been meaning to write something for a while now about how misinformation is not a partisan issue, it's just an issue in general. i was mulling over writing something about how infowars waterboards statistics into saying whatever alex jones wants – i'll still probably do that in the future – but it's not something that exactly supports my thesis here.

but, lucky me, i had a perfect example fall into my lap this week.

so, was andrew tate taken into custody over twitter beef with greta thunberg? the short answer is "no" but i'll elaborate.

here's the primary romanian news report about the cops taking the tate brothers into custody. the way that this has been reported in US news media has basically been that a pizza box in andrew tate's video response to thunberg helped romanian authorities confirm his location. here's a daily beast article that insinuates this:

In a video rant he uploaded to Twitter, in which he smoked a cigar and tried to brush off the online spat, he unwittingly displayed a pizza box from a local pizza chain—alerting authorities looking for him to his presence in the country.

here's the problem with that, though – none of the romanian journalists who reported on this story said anything about the pizza box thing. there's also a huge problem with these stories just... citing each other.

if you dig through the citation loop long enough, you end on this daily star article that cites tweets (jurnelism!) from, of course, alejandra caraballo

According to Alejandra Caraballo, a writer and clinical instructor posting on Twitter: “Romanian authorities needed proof that Andrew Tate was in the country so they reportedly used his social media posts.

(as an aside, if you follow her on twt, i'd heavily recommend against doing that. she spews bullshit like her life depends on it and i think this is inexcusable.)

these are caraballo's tweets in question:

the source for this is the romanian article i linked to earlier in this post. it doesn't say any of this. at least, the english translated version of it doesn't. for what it's worth, i'm not a romanian speaker, and i don't have any benchmark for judging if google's translation service is missing linguistic nuances. here's what it actually says:

Sources close to the investigation stated, for Gândul , that shortly after the completion of the computer expertise, the authorities waited for the right moment to catch the Tate brothers, who were always out of the country.

After seeing, including on social networks, that they were together in Romania, the DIICOT prosecutors mobilized the special troops of the Gendarmerie and descended, by force, on their villa in Pipera, but also on other addresses.

it's also probably worth pointing out that tate's villa was previously searched in april. while the article does say that social media was used to help confirm their location, it doesn't say anything about pizza boxes. and, like, given that tate is a prolific social media poster and was tweeting out videos of romania on sunday, i think it's safe to assume they had a wealth of other information to go off.

and if you don't want to take my word for it, nyt and wapo both reported that the spokesperson for the romanian prosecutor presiding over the case denied the pizza box thing:

Speculation online centered on whether a distinctive pizza box featured in one of Mr. Tate’s tweets to Ms. Thunberg had helped lead the authorities to him, but Ramona Bolla, a spokeswoman for the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism, told The New York Times on Friday that that was not the case.

anyway, ain't it funny how caraballo's made the fuck up pizza tweet got 76 million views, 97k retweets, and 525k likes, while her appended correction got 78k views, 100 retweets, and 820 likes. her initial "source: my mind" tweet is still up. ain't. it. funny.

[swankifyed]

So Andrew Tate just got arrested after starting (and losing) twitter-beef with climate activist Greta Thunberg???

The beginning:

Greta’s reply (that at the moment of my post has 2.9million likes, making it the 22nd most liked tweet ever):

A few hours after this, Tate replies with a cringe video where you can see pizza boxes. These pizza boxes are from a Romanian pizza chain, which was used by the Romanian anti-organized crime agency DIICOT to confirm that he and his brother was in the country so they could raid his house and arrest them on charges of human trafficking.

In short: he picked a twitter-fight with a 19yo, got ratioed into oblivion, posted cringe, doxxed himself and got arrested. Amazing stuff.

Romanian police on Wednesday searched four properties linked to Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan amid new child sex and trafficking allegations.  

According to Romania’s prosecutors for the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) police descended on four locations owned by the Tate brothers in Bucharest and Ilfov.

The searches are linked to a fresh investigation against the Tate brothers, according to the authorities.”DIICOT implemented four home search warrants within Ilfov county and Bucharest municipality, in a criminal case regarding the commission of the crimes of forming an organized criminal group, trafficking in minors, trafficking in persons, sexual intercourse with a minor, influencing statements and money laundering,” said a press release.

Police raided Andrew Tate’s properties following new complaints made by the alleged victims of the Tate brothers, who run, among other things, a business related to video chat in Romania.

A spokesperson for the Tate brothers confirmed the raids on social media. “Although the allegations in the search warrant are not yet fully clarified, they include suspicions of human trafficking and money laundering. The brothers’ legal team is present to ensure all formalities are carried out correctly,” they said.

Andrew Tate commented on X that he was the victim of conspiracies. “The Matrix is ​​real. And they have a tried and true playbook. Slander is their number one tool, and the process is the punishment,” wrote Andrew Tate.

The Tate brothers are global influencers and self-proclaimed misogynists who claim to teach young men how to become men and fight against the system they call “The Matrix.”

The two are currently awaiting trial in Romania on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. In mid-July, the Bucharest Court of Appeal annulled the decision of the Bucharest Court of July 5, by which the brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate had received permission to leave the territory of Romania. In the UK, Andrew Tate faces a civil case from four British women who claim they were raped and assaulted. The brothers are also being taken to court by police in the UK for allegedly paying zero tax on £21 million in earnings from their online businesses.

STEPHEN McGRATH and ANDREEA ALEXANDRU at AP:

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Masked police officers in Romania carried out fresh raids early Wednesday at the home of divisive internet influencer Andrew Tate, who is awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, said it was searching four homes in Bucharest and nearby Ilfov county, investigating allegations of human trafficking, the trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor, influencing statements and money laundering. The agency added that hearings will later be held at its headquarters. Tate’s spokesperson, Mateea Petrescu, said in response to the raids that “although the charges in the search warrant are not yet fully clarified, they include suspicions of human trafficking and money laundering” and added that his legal team is present. Petrescu did not address the allegations involving minors. Dozens of police officers and forensic personnel were scouring Tate’s large property on the edge of the capital Bucharest. “During the entire criminal process, the investigated persons benefit from the procedural rights and guarantees provided by the Code of Criminal Procedure, as well as the presumption of innocence,” DIICOT noted in its statement.

WARNING!: Contains Disturbing Content (i.e mentions of physical and sexual abuse, pimping, rape, human trafficking.)

Accused of human trafficking, money laundering and sexual abuse of minors, the Tate brothers were released by a Bucharest Court judge. Andrew Tate remains under house arrest, in his luxurious villa, and Tristan can walk freely throughout Romania, because he is under judicial control. Prosecutors asked that they remain imprisoned, because they would represent a public danger, but the judge did not have the same opinion. This, although DIICOT put on the judge's table hundreds of pages of interceptions, among other evidence. Digi24 has exclusively obtained these conversations and we present some of them to you. Careful! It is information with a strong emotional impact. Victims of human trafficking can call the telephone number: 0800 500 333.

In one conversation, Andrew and Tristan were overheard discussing the amounts of money the girls were forced to video chat. Tristan calls them "my" and details to his brother the situation of each victim: who worked hard enough, who made a lot of money, or who was sick.

Tristan Tate: By the way, we're rounding up the "lambs" tomorrow

Andrew Tate: Are you checking their accounts? how much was it

Tristan Tate: It's ok Tristan Tate: Oh

Tristan Tate: I don't know, they haven't worked all the days yet

Tristan Tate: It's double pay

Tristan Tate: Abi produced well

Tristan Tate: Very

Tristan Tate: Adriana was sick

Tate: Maybe I'm "raping" her again In another intercept, Andrew Tate is disturbed by the reaction of a girl, with whom Tristan seems to have had a conflict. Andrew is talking about a punishment of rape, but the word is in quotation marks and may have a different connotation. But the same Andrew says that he was almost caught by the police because of that girl.

Andrew Tate: Who cares?

Andrew Tate: Tell her to get over it

Andrew Tate: Before I "rape" her again

Andrew Tate: She can go to hell with that day

Tristan Tate: I don't care

Andrew Tate: I almost went to jail for that mess

Tristan Tate: Don't kill the messenger

Andrew Tate: Nurse

Tristan Tate: Leave it

Tristan Tate admits to being a pimp Investigators captured another shocking discussion between the Tate brothers. First, Tristan talks freely about hitting on a woman. He threatened to beat a girl who disobeyed the Tate brothers' orders. At the end of the conversation, the brothers divide their duties: Andrew takes care of video chat sites, and Tristan takes care of pimping.

Tristan Tate: Abi lost her mind yesterday

Tristan Tate: I might kick her ass

Andrew Tate: She was very drunk

Tristan Tate: Or slap her

Tristan Tate: You keep the website producing, I keep the pimping activity

[officialromaniantranslatiuni]

How come DIICOT was able to arest someone like Andrew Tate, a rich af foreigner, yet they did pretty much nothing about Alexandra Macesanu and Luisa Melencu, who were kidnapped, r*ped and then vanished while the police was outside, waiting for a search warrant? Was a disgusting old man living in a shed more influential than AT? Or is AT in fact nothing compared to the traffickers from this country with strong connections in politics, police and mafia?

[reasonandempathy]

British-American Tate, 36, has amassed a huge following of young men via Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

He and brother Tristan were arrested in Bucharest and will be detained for 24 hours, according to Romanian newspaper Gândul.

It reported that the US Embassy received a complaint that a woman with American citizenship was being held at their home without consent.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan’s home was raided by Romanian authorities, specifically the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism, on the morning of 29 December, reports Romanian media and the two have reportedly been taken into custody.

A December 29 report, initially from Romanian outlet Libertatea claimed that Andrew Tate’s home in Pipera had been raided by Romanian police in relation to the abduction of two girls. Now, Tate and his brother have both been taken into custody.

The raid is said to be carried out by DIICOT, the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism in Bucharest.

PRIN CE TRECE O SUPRAVITUOTIARELE A TRAFICULUI DE PERSOANE

Victimele majore ale traficului de persoane din România sunt multe. Locurile pe care le au la dispoziție, dacă vor să evadeze din rețeaua de trafic și să apeleze la găzduirea pe termen nedeterminat a unui adăpost specializat, sunt puține. Șaisprezece la număr, mai exact. Și nu le operează statul - ci un ONG.

Traficul de persoane nu se reduce la poveștile de groază pe care le citim în rechizitorii. Nici la comunicatele DIICOT care anunță dezmembrarea vreunei rețele. Și nu se termină pur și simplu în momentul în care victimele ies din rețele. Pentru o fată traficată ieșirea din rețea e abia începutul.

Victimele traficului de persoane sunt, în multe situații, copiii sau adolescenții abandonați, în ultimă instanță chiar de statul român. Cei mai mulți au părinți plecați sau absenți, episoade de violență în familie în istoricul personal, ba chiar sunt victime ale abuzului sexual. Pentru traficanți acest abandon personal și comunitar este mană cerească, întrucât le deschide calea către propriul lor abuz.

Statul român nu operează în momentul de față nicio locuință protejată pentru fetele traficate. Aceste facilități sunt absolut elementare, căci primul lucru pe care trebuie să-l asiguri unei victime scoase dintr-o rețea este siguranța. Apoi suportul necesar pentru recuperare și reintegrare, care necesită servicii oferite pe o perioadă îndelungată de timp.

PRIN CE TRECE O SUPRAVIEȚUITOARE DUPA CE IESE DIN TRAFIC?

Frica, coșmarurile, depresia si pericolul de retraficare sunt doar cateva dintre lucrurile la care sunt expuse supraviețuitoare traficului de persoane. In realitate, daca reusesti sa iesi din trafic nu vei duce o viata normala niciodată.

"E O CURV@, STIU EU CE A FACUT IN GERMANIA"

"Fata lui x? S-a dus sa faca bani. O stie tot satul"

"Ce trafic? Sigur ti-a placut"

"De ce nu ai plecat? De ce nu ai spus cuiva? Daca ai ramas ti-a placut si tie. Ai facut-o pentru bani"

Realitatea este alta. Un procentaj foarte mic dintre lucratoarele sexuale o fac de buna voie. Marea majoritate sunt victime ale traficului si sunt obligate sa faca prostituție. Mai mult, victimele nu primesc nici un ban.

Andrew Tate: "Prosecutors have said the investigation, launched after one of the brothers allegedly raped one of the trafficked women last March, had so far identified six victims. Diicot released video showing guns, knives and money at the scene of the Tates’ arrest. A judge last week extended their preventive detention from 24 hours to 30 days." Well. Looks like they got them for real...

Thank fuck tbh, and with no thanks to the UK police who allegedly had evidence of similar crimes back when he was in Big Brother and for some reason opted not to prosecute. Now look at the damage he’s managed to go on and do due to that decision 🙄🥴😒

Hopefully they can make this one stick, and it’s absolutely delicious that all his boasting about how easy it is to evade the police has just highlighted what a flight risk he is and pretty much guaranteed he won’t get bail. It’s what he deserves!
