Andrew Tate and has been arrested for human trafficking.
According to NBC News Romanian prosecutors said on Thursday they have detained divisive internet personality and former professional kickboxer Andrew Tate on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organized crime group.
Tate, banned from many social media platforms for misogynistic comments and hate speech, and his brother Tristan will be detained for 24 hours alongside two Romanian suspects, prosecutors from the anti-organized-crime unit said in a statement after raiding their properties in Bucharest.
A lawyer for the Tate brothers confirmed they had been detained.
“The four suspects … appear to have created an organized crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing, and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialized websites for a cost,” prosecutors said.
“They would have gained important sums of money.”

Prosecutors said they had found six women who had been sexually exploited by the suspects.
Tate has said women are partially responsible for being raped and that they belong to men.
Earlier this week, the British national was told to get a life by climate activist Greta Thunberg on Twitter after he told her he owned 33 cars with “enormous emissions.”
Andrew Tate being so triggered by Greta Thunberg, after he initially taunted her, that he gave away his location and was arrested for human trafficking is exactly the downfall he deserves and exposes his whole violent misogynistic grift for what it really is.

Let Andrew Tate be a lesson to all of you 25-year-olds that believed he was real. LOL That you can be a kickboxer and then all of a sudden be rich as Elon. Clearly he was doing some shady shit to get his cash. Also, what he was preaching to young men was toxic and unrealistic.

No but imagine being that person crying about Greta saying Andrew Tate had small dick energy and now finding out that she inadvertently led to his arrest for human trafficking by hitting him where it hurts, like you were a big loser before but now it is confirmed

Doxxing yourself while under investigation for human trafficking by trying to harass a 19-year-old Nobel Peace Prize nominee is quite possibly the biggest L ever taken by a single human. https://t.co/f0Zg3BNnyt

So…Elon Musk let Andrew Tate back on Twitter, and Tate promptly used it to reveal his whereabouts to authorities in Romania who then arrested him.
All because Greta Thunberg owned him so hard his little wee-wee fell off.
Do I have that right? Please say I have that right.
