Anti-feminist social media personality Andrew Tate 'arrested' in Romania on human trafficking charge

The self-styled misogynist internet celebrity Andrew Tate has reportedly been arrested in Romania on human trafficking charges.

British-American Tate, 36, has amassed a huge following of young men via Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

He and brother Tristan were arrested in Bucharest and will be detained for 24 hours, according to Romanian newspaper Gândul.

It reported that the US Embassy received a complaint that a woman with American citizenship was being held at their home without consent.

A former policewoman also accused of involvement in the alleged trafficking has also been arrested on the same charges.

Seems like picking a fight with Greta Thunberg opened up the lead for Romanian police to locate this dipshit.

Karma. (Heh)

Maybe he'll use his Bugatti to make a getaway.

It gets even crazier. The Council of Europe through GRETA, the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, urged Romania last year to effectively prosecute human trafficking.

You can't make this up. Romanian authorities were urged last year to effectively prosecute human traffickers by GRETA, the Group of Experts Against Trafficking Human Beings.

Greta's tweet has now become one of the top 25 most liked tweets of all time with 2.8 million likes. It could easily hit the top ten by the weekend. This is absolutely legendary.

Gave my 14 yr old granddaughter a pair of socks with Greta's pic on them as part of her Xmas gift. On the soles.of the socks was a quote: " Less nice words, more action."

Bad ass!

Romanian authorities needed proof that Andrew Tate was in the country so they reportedly used his social media posts. His ridiculous video yesterday featured a pizza from a Romanian pizza chain, Jerry's Pizza, confirming he was in the country.

This is absolutely epic.

His cult followers were hiding in Puerto Valarta and posted pictures of them around the area, visiting famous sites. The police used the snaps posted on Instagram to locate him and arrested him on the spot and sent him to the US.

Any male with such a deep dread and hatred of women is certainly capable of this sort of thing. Most women over 20 know these guys are out there, which is why these guys piss and moan about not women snubbing them, when most women spot them and just want to get away alive.

I hope the woman in question files charges and they stick. I also hope any others come forward.

but I saw Greta own him the other day, and now that his stupid big mouth led to him being arrested, i don't think i'll ever stop laughing at him.

also think it is poetic justice that musk let one of his hate filled buddies back on twitter and that led to him getting arrested LOL Thanks Elmo!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy shit, there are some really stupid, disgusting people in this world. There's a whole swarm of 'em, male and female, out there trying to minimize this prick's behavior with one of the stupidest games of "Whataboutism" I have ever seen. Somehow the Taint...errrr....Tate brothers are the victims of the Evil American Liberal Somethingoranother who are protecting Epstein's/Maxwell's clients--even though they were arrested by Romanian authorities for doing the same goddamn thing Maxwell and Epstein were doing. They actually believe the Democrats are responsible for this shitstain being arrested. The stupid. It burns.
