More luxury cars seized from Andrew Tate’s Bucharest home | World News


More luxury cars have been seized from Andrew Tate’s home in Romania after he was placed under house arrest earlier this week.

The 37-year-old influencer was arrested alongside his brother Tristan, 36, and four others on Wednesday as part of an investigation into human trafficking, trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor, and money laundering, among other alleged offences.

On Saturday, Romania’s anti-organised crime agency DIICOT took further vehicles from Tate’s largest property in Bucharest.

Three other properties across Bucharest and nearby Ilfov county were also raided.

Prosecutors ordered on Friday that Tate be detained for 30 days, while his brother is under lighter restrictions.

The alleged crimes they are accused of took place between 2014 and 2024, they say.

Both brothers grew up in Luton and have millions of social media followers. Andrew Tate appeared in the UK version of Big Brother in 2016.

Self-described misogynists, their views shared on social media platforms such as TikTok and X have been widely criticised, particularly as they have a predominately young, male audience.

The brothers deny the current and previous criminal allegations made against them.
