Here’s Why Andrew Tate May Have Chosen To Live In Romania, Where Sex Trafficking Has “Become A National Sport”

Misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate built himself a darker version of the Playboy Mansion just outside of Bucharest, Romania — a guarded compound full of sports cars and women. But the party came to a screeching halt on Dec. 29, when Romanian police arrested Tate, his brother Tristan, and two alleged accomplices. The foursome are accused of running a trafficking ring that forced women to create online pornographic content.

The allegations — rape, human trafficking, money laundering, and forming an organized crime group — could yield them decades in prison. The Tates will remain in detention until at least the end of March. On Tuesday, the alleged accomplices were ordered released from custody; they were to be placed under house arrest.
