Masked police officers in Romania have carried out fresh raids at the home of divisive internet influencer Andrew Tate.
Masked police officers in Romania have carried out fresh raids 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 the counties of Bucharest and nearby Ilfov, 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.
