Social Media Influencer Andrew Tate got arrested today for human trafficking and rape – Greta Thunberg played a major role, here’s how!
Former professional kickboxer and controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate has been arrested in Romania. He along with his brother Tristan Tate got arrested for human trafficking and rape.
They are mainly suspected of forming an organised crime group that exploits girls for adult videos. Both the brothers have reportedly been taken to DIICOT (Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism) for questioning.
19-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg played a major role in the arrest. This all started with a tween when earlier this week Tate tagged Greta in a tweet while bragging about his 33 cars.
“Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions,” Andrew Tate wrote,
Greta Thunberg responded, “Yes, please do enlighten me. Email me at smalldickenergy@getalife.com.” The tweet quickly became one of the most-liked tweets of all time and was shared widely.
On Wednesday Andrew responded to Greta Thunberg in a video, in which he is seen eating a pizza from a box labelled “Jerry’s Pizza,” a Romanian restaurant chain. Many reports say that after seeing the Pizza box authorities were certain that Tate is in Romania which led to his arrest.
Following the arrest, Thunberg tweeted “this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes,” referring to the online rumour.

DIICOT issued a statement, but it did not name the Tate brothers, they stated that two British citizens and two Romanian citizens were suspected of being part of a criminal group focused on human trafficking.
The statement said,
“Officers had identified six people who were “sexually exploited” by what it called an “organised criminal group”. Police said the victims were “recruited” by the British citizens, who they said had misrepresented their intention to enter into a relationship with the victims – which it called “the loverboy method. They were later forced to perform in pornographic content under threat of violence”.
It also released a video of the raid, showing guns, knives, and money on display in one room. Tate moved to Romania five years ago.
Andrew has been banned from several social media platforms live Youtube, Facebook and Instagram. He had been banned from Twitter but was recently allowed back onto the platform following Elon Musk’s takeover.
In 2016, he entered the Big Brother house but was soon removed after a video was circulated, which appeared to show him hitting a woman with a belt. He gained popularity as a kickboxer and also won world titles.
