STORYLINE:
Divisive internet influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were detained on Wednesday in Romania following a police raid into their house earlier in the day.
While being ushered into a police van Andrew Tate complained to reporters that he didn’t know what he had done wrong.
Tate 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 Bucharest and nearby Ilfov county, 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.
The 37-year-old Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, 36, both former kickboxers and dual British-U.S. citizens who have amassed millions of social media followers, were arrested in 2022 near Bucharest along with two Romanian women.
Romanian prosecutors formally indicted all four last year.
They have denied the allegations.
