Andrew Tate Arrested: In 2016, the ex-kickboxer rose to prominence after being kicked off the British reality show Big Brother after a video of him allegedly assaulting a housemate surfaced. Twitter eventually banned him from the platform due to his controversial views that women should “carry responsibility” for se*ual assault, catapulting him to Internet stardom. He’s been restored to good standing since then.
How Did Andrew Tate Get Arrested?
Despite being banned from several social media platforms, he became well-known, particularly among young men, for advocating a hyper-masculine, ultra-opulent lifestyle. Tate, a British citizen born in the United States, competed professionally as a kickboxer and won world titles before becoming a global household name.
He was quickly evicted from the Big Brother house after a video of him beating a lady with a belt surfaced in 2016. Tate claimed the video was doctored, calling it “a pure fraud attempting to make me look terrible” after he was expelled. Because “misogyny is a vile philosophy that is not accepted,” Mr. Tate has been banned from social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, and TikTok has blacklisted him.
Twitter had previously banned him, but after Elon Musk’s takeover, he was reinstated. On a regular basis, he was shown in recordings flaunting his pricey collection of sports vehicles, private aircraft, and lavish vacations. A DIICOT representative told the BBC that prosecutors had requested to keep the influencer in a “detention center” for another 30 days.
According to the spokeswoman, the case will be decided by a court on Friday. As of April, the brothers and two Romanian nationals were being investigated. According to their lawyer, who spoke to the BBC, the two brothers did not waive their right to remain silent throughout the detention hearing.
The four suspects “appear to have constructed an organised crime organisation with the goal of recruiting, housing, and exploiting women by forcing them to make pornographic content intended to be seen on specialised websites for a fee,” according to the DIICOT statement. A social media video shows Tate and his brother being escorted out of a mansion.
Tate’s representative told the Daily Mirror that he had no information about the arrest. “However, the Tate brothers have the highest respect for the Romanian government and will always cooperate and help in any way they can,” he added.
Andrew Tate, who frequently makes references to the 1999 film The Matrix, made another reference to the film in a later tweet. According to the message, “Matrix agents” had been dispatched. Tweets about the Matrix from Twitter CEO Elon Musk were also retweeted from this account.
Andrew and Tristan Tate are led by police officials outside the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism offices in Bucharest (DIICOT). Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested after police stormed their Bucharest home.
Romanian Directorate Statement
The Romanian Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism issued a statement on Thursday night, without specifically naming the Tate brothers, stating that two British nationals and two Romanian nationals were being investigated for their possible involvement in a human trafficking ring.
So how did the media know to show up when Andrew Tate was suddenly arrested in dramatic fashion? Don't people usually get arrested without tons of media around? We didn't have media swarming when Ghislaine Maxwell (no footage) was arrested and her case was much higher profile. pic.twitter.com/L6JR5WRh6S

According to the statement, six victims of a “organised criminal organisation” who were “se*ually exploited” have been discovered. The victims were “recruited” by British nationals, according to the police, who used “the loverboy approach” to trick them into thinking they wanted to start a relationship with them. According to the complaint, they were later threatened with physical harm if they did not act in scenes containing obscene material.
Tate has lived in Romania for five years. Following the release of a video in which Tate attacked environmental activist Greta Thunberg, rumours spread that police had been notified of his presence in the country.
Some viewers of the video assumed he had inadvertently revealed his location because he was given a pizza box from a nearby restaurant. Tate, 36, sparked a feud with the activist, 19, earlier this week when he tagged the younger man in a social media post boasting about the “enormous emissions” caused by his collection of vehicles.
