The former kickboxer, who rose to fame on the British version of 'Big Brother,' was detained in Romania on suspicion on leading a criminal network ...

Tate became famous after appearing on the British version of television show Big Brother, from which he was expelled after posting a video of himself hitting a woman. The four suspects, who are being held for an initial 24 hours that could be extended to 30 days with a judicial order, are accused of setting up an organized criminal group “on Romanian territory” in 2021, although the network’s activities in other countries including the United States and the United Kingdom are also under investigation. The investigation was initiated when the specialist unit began to investigate the case of a young American woman kidnapped in Voluntari by the brothers, police said. Through acts of physical violence, coercion and intimidation, constant surveillance and invoking alleged debts, the network “recruited and exploited young people to create pornographic videos for distribution in exchange for a fee on specialized websites, especially OnlyFans,” the Romanian Prosecutor’s Office stated. The same week, Tate, a noted misogynist and climate change denier, attempted to get a rise out of Thunberg by offering to send her a list of his collection of 33 cars and the emissions they create. In addition to the two brothers, Romanian agents detained two other men, Romanian nationals, who are accused of forcing women into sexual relations that they filmed and then distributed on the internet for profit, the DIICOT said in a statement.

Despite the online speculation that Romanian authorities were able to locate Tate after he posted a video in response to Thunberg containing a pizza box from a local spot that gave away his location, authorities denied that the video played any role. The string of controversial behavior continued in 2017, when he falsely asserted that depression “ [isn’t real](https://www.insider.com/andrew-tate-tiktok-ban-fanpages-misogynistic-content-circulating-2022-8).” While his father told the Tribune that he wished his son would pursue other interests, Tate said that he played so much because he was “bored all the time and that’s the only thing I want to do most.” He was kicked off the reality television show after a video surfaced that appeared to show him hitting a woman with a belt.

“The four suspects … Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism previously issued a statement, but did not name the Tate brothers, saying that two British citizens and two Romanian citizens were suspected of being part of a criminal group focused on human trafficking. In the footage, Tate (36) tells a person behind the camera: “Please bring me pizza and make sure that these boxes are not recycled,” before being handed packaging with Romanian text on it. The theory has spawned the trending hashtag #PizzaTate, although others pointed out that Tate had been posting about his location in Romania before the row. Following news that the former kickboxer had been detained on suspicion of human trafficking and rape, the climate campaigner said in a post on Friday: “this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes”.
