Social media influencer and businessman Andrew Tate, along with his brother, landed in major legal trouble after he got arrested in December 2022 by the Romanian authorities in Bucharest, on charges of human trafficking and rape.
The case began when in April 2022, a man called the US embassy in Romania saying that his former girlfriend was being held captive by Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan in their home. Upon raiding their home in Romania, four women were inside the Tate house.
Upon investigation, it was alleged that the Tate brothers had lured women inside their homes by promising them a romantic relationship, and held them captive.
