Romanian officials Wednesday searched four homes belonging to Andrew Tate, per multiple reports. The investigation reportedly is looking into the trafficking of minors and sexual intercourse with a minor. Tate, a self-described misogynist and influencer, is already facing accusations of human trafficking. Romanian law enforcement officials Wednesday searched four homes belonging to Andrew Tate as part of a new investigation into the self-described misogynist influencer and his brother, Tristan, according to multiple reports. Romania’s DIICOT, the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism, said in a press release — which didn’t name the Tate brothers — that the raids were related to forming an organized criminal group, trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor, influencing statements, and money laundering. The searches involved four homes in Bucharest and Ilfov county, according to the agency. (…) Tate and his brother, Tristan, were first arrested in 2022 in Romania alongside two Romanian women, the AP reports, and they were formally indicted last year. They have denied previous allegations of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. In March, the brothers were detained in Romania over a UK arrest warrant on sexual crime charges dating back to between 2012 and 2015.
