Andrew Tate arrested from his Romania house in connection to human trafficking

Romania’s Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) confirmed that arrests were made regarding an ongoing investigation into human trafficking and r*pe charges. While no one was named, the video of Tate getting arrested went viral on Twitter pretty quickly.

Police also found two women who were allegedly forced to stay in the house. One of them is of American nationality and the other is from the Republic of Moldova.

DIICOT also issued a statement:

The women were forced to stay there and were threatened with physical violence and mental coercion.”

Tate has been under a lot of scrutiny for his views on women and their role in society. This arrest, for many, is a proof of the kind of misogyny and toxic masculinity he tries to advocate. However, Tate had tried to explain the charges against him previously but was not cleared of them.

What is human trafficking?

The primary case registered against Tate is that of human trafficking. For the unversed, human trafficking is buying and selling of humans for forced labor, sexual slavery, or commercial sexual exploitation.

For the now, the four suspects including Tate and his brother are arrested and will stay in custody for 24 hours.
