Romanian authorities have seized a collection of high-end vehicles owned by Andrew Tate as part of an investigation into serious new allegations of human trafficking against Tate and his brother, Tristan, who were placed under house arrest just days earlier. The luxury cars impounded from Tate's residence included a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, McLaren, and even a classic red Lada, the Associated Press reported. These seizures came in the wake of a coordinated operation by Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, which raided four properties in Bucharest and Ilfov county just two days prior.
The raids led to the detention of six individuals, including the Tate brothers , and the confiscation of cash, laptops, and data storage devices. Outside the Tate residence, Georgiana Popa, one of the defense lawyers, addressed the media, asserting that while the seizures were "legal," they were "unfounded." Popa claimed the vehicles did not belong to the Tates.
The Tate brothers, former kickboxing champions with dual British-American citizenship, have long been figures of both fame and infamy, amassing a significant following on social media. However, their public personas has been marred by serious criminal charges in Romania, where they, along with two women, face accusations of forming a criminal gang, human trafficking, and in Andrew Tate's case, rape. The latest case against the Tate brothers delves deep into allegations of human trafficking, with DIICOT investigatin.
