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.
Like blood alcohol limit is 0.00? Because most countries define a limit that makes you drunk and it ain’t zero.
Yup, exactly. Strictly 0.0. There are cases where people have lost their licenses after having one of those little chocolates with the rum-flavored fillings. This was a reaction to a huge wave of deaths due to DUIs.
That’s a bit rough. Bread that rises due to the action of yeast contains as much as 1.9% alcohol by volume.
I’m all for clamping down on drunk driving. But I’m not for making it illegal to drive after eating a sandwich.
Edit: the exhaled air alcohol content is higher, at 0.4mg / l. I assume that’s been calibrated to avoid false positives from eating bread.
They’re far from the only country to do this. Japan is the same way. Driving after even a drop of alcohol is illegal. It’s technically even illegal to operate a bicycle with any alcohol in you.
Huh. So how do they pull over people that had those rum filled candies?
If they get into an accident, or it’s a spot check, or something like that they get breathalized.
