Andrew Tate detained in Romania over rape & human trafficking case.

A court in Romania’s capital on Friday denied a request by online influencer Andrew Tate to return assets that were seized during investigations into the case in which he is charged with human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

The Bucharest Tribunal ruled that all assets seized will remain in possession of Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, Tate’s spokesperson said, adding that the decision will be appealed. Tate, 37, won an appeal in January challenging the asset seizures, which triggered a retrial.

After the Tates were detained, Romanian authorities seized 15 luxury cars, 14 designer watches and cash in several currencies. The fleet of automobiles included a Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari, a Porsche, a BMW, an Aston Martin and a Mercedes-Benz. The total value of the goods, authorities said at the time, was estimated at 3.6 million euros ($3.9 million).

DIICOT also said it had identified more than 10 properties and land owned by companies registered to the Tate brothers, and that their assets could be used to fund investigations and compensate victims if the authorities could prove they were gained through illicit activities.

 
Researchers from Monash University interviewed female teachers about the impact of Andrew Tate in Australian classrooms. Their study was published earlier this year in the journal Gender and Education.

"The consistency is one of the most extraordinary things about what we found in this study," said one of the report's authors, Stephanie Wescott.

"We're talking teachers from rural towns in regional Australia to metropolitan schools.

"What they were telling us is that Andrew Tate was showing up in their classroom in a range of ways."
The sample size was limited, with 30 female teachers interviewed for between 30 and 75 minutes.

The study found "widespread experience of sexual harassment, sexism, and misogyny perpetrated by boys towards women teachers, and the ominous presence of Andrew Tate shaping their behaviour".

 

The serving details abuse allegedly inflicted by Tate on the four women, two of whom are said to have been employed as 'cam girls' by Tate.

Three of the women alleged they were raped by Tate, with one saying he raped her as many as five times, according to reports.

The allegations also included that he throttled two of the women until the vessels in their eyes burst and threatened one with a firearm.

One said he blackmailed her with nude images, while several said he infected them with STDs during rapes, reports in The Sun and elsewhere state.

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 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.

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.

Joseph McBride, the Tate brothers' U.S.-based attorney, told NBC News on Thursday morning the siblings were on their way to Florida. He did not provide further details on their expected arrival.
The Tate brothers' departure to the U.S. comes after an American woman who says the siblings attempted to recruit into a webcam sex trafficking ring filed a countersuit against them earlier this month, claiming they had defamed her after she gave a testimony to Romanian authorities.

McBride, the Tate brothers' lawyer, said a Zoom hearing was expected to be held on Thursday in a defamation suit the brothers filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, but added that that was a coincidence and unrelated to their travel.
He added that the Tate brothers would not attend the hearing in person.

Hmmm, I wonder who they could be visiting in Florida.
 
News article: Flight trackers show a private jet en route to Florida. I take it all their assets weren't frozen if they could afford this, or the jet was paid for by a third party? I feel terrible for the women involved in this; they must feel so anxious over this.
