Andrew Tate's Pizza-Video Reply To Greta Tipped Off Cops About Location, Now He Is Arrested
The former kickboxer replied back with a two-minute video in which he is seen wearing a robe and holding a cigar. He also collects two pizza boxes from someone and places them on the table.
Controversial American-British social media personality and former professional kickboxer Andrew Tate was arrested in Romania on Friday along with his brother Tristan Tate in connection with human trafficking case. Both the brothers will be detained for 24 hours alongside two suspects, Romanian prosecutors from the anti organised-crime unit said in a statement after raiding their properties in Bucharest, reported news agency Reuters.
"The four suspects ... appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost," prosecutors said, confirming his detention, reported Reuters.
Tate's arrest comes a day after his Twitter interaction with environmentalist Greta Thungberg and the latter’s sharp response to his jibe.
It all began after Tate boasted about his collection of "33 cars" and their "enormous emissions" on Twitter and tagged Greta Thunberg asking for her email address.
Hello @GretaThunberg

I have 33 cars.
My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo.
My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s.
This is just the start.
Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions. pic.twitter.com/ehhOBDQyYU
Tate's tweet was met with a savage reply from Thunberg who said she would like to know more about them and for that Andrew Tate can mail her at smalld***energy@getalife.com.
The former kickboxer replied back with a two-minute video in which he is seen wearing a robe and holding a cigar. He also collects two pizza boxes from someone and places them on the table.
The boxes, from Jerry’s Pizza has several outlets in Romania. It is reported that the company helped Romanian authorities track down Andrew Tate.
The divisive internet personality was banned from Twitter in 2017 for his negative content. However, he re-joined the micro-blogging site when Elon Musk took over the company and initiated a new policy.
