Dozens of police officers and forensic personnel were scouring Tate's large property on the edge of the capital Bucharest.
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.
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.
The 37-year-old Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, 36, both former kickboxers and dual British-U.S. citizens who have amassed millions of social media followers, werealong with two Romanian women. Romanian prosecutors formally indicted all four last year. They have denied the allegations. After the Tate brothers' arrest in 2022, they were held for three months in police detention before being moved to house arrest. They were later restricted to the Bucharest and Ilfov counties, and later to all of Romania.
