Polarising social media personality Andrew Tate has been
detained in Romania over allegations of rape, human trafficking and
organised crime.
Andrew Tate was arrested and detained with his
brother
as part of an investigation that began last
year, following allegations made by at least 6 women that
they were lured on the promise of a genuine loving relationship,
only to be forced into making pornography which was then sold
online.
Prosecutors with Romania's Directorate for the Investigation
of Organized Crime and Terrorism said in a translated statement
that two Britons and two Romanians were detained for 24 hours as
part of the investigation.
It also said that the women were allegedly subjected to
"physical violence and mental coercion through intimidation,
constant surveillance, control and invoking alleged debts"
