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.
Probably. Poe’s law becomes firmer every day as vocal crazies become more and more outspoken.
Yes. We’ve actually moved beyond ‘many celebrities are holograms, in reality they’re dead’. ‘Many elites are lizards’ is decades old, and is from the last century.
The conspiracy landscape certainly requires a lot of… imagination, I guess, but completely harmful imagination.
