Police raid Andrew Tate's home in Romania as new allegations emerge involving minors

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Masked police officers in Romania carried out fresh raids early Wednesday at the home of divisive internet influencer Andrew Tate, who 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 the counties of Bucharest and nearby Ilfov, 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.

Tate’s spokesperson, Mateea Petrescu, said in response to the raids that “although the charges in the search warrant are not yet fully clarified, they include suspicions of human trafficking and money laundering” and added that his legal team is present. Petrescu did not address the allegations involving minors.

Divisive? Let’s call him what he is: a dribbling, brain-dead misogynistic cunt grifter (and now potential pedo).

“I like Eastern Europe as a whole because corruption is far more accessible,” Tate said. “I find it offensive that a police officer in England will stop me and refuse to take a bribe.”

Bet you’re missing that guarantee of a speedy trial, huh?

And he's probably right. But, he forgot the first, second and third rule of corruption club. You DO NOT talk about corruption club!

Sounds like he’s still stuck in the 90s. The police used to be corrupt as all hell, but things have slowly improved. Most would probably take a kickback for something very minor, like drinking a beer in a park, but there’s too many eyes on them for anything more major.

Just 2 months ago a guy I know came in from Italy, but didn’t realize Romania has a zero tolerance policy on drunk driving. He had a single glass of wine and was driving. Police stopped him, asked if he’d been drinking, he said yes. Once he realized how much shit he was in, he tried to bribe them. They added that to the charges. He’s now banned from driving in Romania (he had to get a pair of friends from Italy to come pick up his car), but they were nice enough to not cancel his driving license completely.

Cries in north america where drivers can collect DUIs as if they are trying to get a high score.

When I was 19 or 20, I got caught driving without insurance (don’t do this) and my license was suspended for six months. Maybe two years later, my friend got pulled over on a DUI. He spent maybe an hour in jail before his parents bailed him out and got his license suspended for six weeks.

Like I said, don’t drive without insurance, but I think I was a hell of a lot less likely to kill someone with my car than he was.

Wait, did they finally find pictures of him in drag?

norimee ,

Do you have to degrade trans people and people who dress outside the gender norm and imply that drag is or should be illegal? And imply what this asshole does (fucking trafficking minors) is as bad as drag?!

Your comment either targets the wrong people in an attempt to shot at Tate or your opinions about drag are lowest level.

Did my comment need a /s on it?

This is one more article about a child molester who isn’t a drag queen—even though there has been a lot of attacking of drag shows as a danger to children.

And why are you bringing up trans people? Drag isn’t trans.

Probably. Poe’s law becomes firmer every day as vocal crazies become more and more outspoken.

Yes? Never fucking assume people are going to get that you're being sarcastic on the internet. JFC, isn't that internet 101 anymore?

I figured the “Wait, …” was sufficient to signify sarcasm. I’ve been wrong before, and I’m sure I’ll be wrong again.

Bogan ,

That’s not at all what they’re saying, you’re missing the joke. They’re making fun of how conservatives are convinced sex traffickers and minor-abusers are always drag queens. They’re on your side.

breakingcups ,

I think you’re entirely missing the point, which is that for all the notable arrests for sexual abuse of children (celebrities, politicians, priests, cops) it’s never someone in drag, even though that’s one of the GOP screaming points in trying to ban drag and trans people. They’re pointing out the ludicrousness of that message.

Bogan ,

Come on dude, please tell me you’re reading these

Thus always to child fuckers.

And this is the sort of “person” conservatives idolize
