Andrew Tate arrest, investigation, and allegations explained Andrew Tate, along with his brother Tristan Tate, was detained by police in Romania on December 29 as part of an investigation into alleged criminal activity. This has split social media into two camps, with the first being \u201cfree the Tates,\u201d and the other calling for the pair to be held accountable for their alleged offenses. As VICE TV is set to broadcast a special report on January 12, featuring women who have leveled accusations of rape and strangling against the controversial influencer, let\u2019s run through everything that has happened since the arrest. Greta Thunberg vs Andrew Tate on Twitter \u2013 Dec 28, 2022 An exchange between Greta Thunberg and Andrew Tate has become one of the most-liked Twitter posts of all time. To kick things off, Tate decided to take a shot at the Swedish climate activist, tagging her account in a post. He said: \u201cHello Greta Thunberg. I have 33 cars,\u201d listing the specs of each. \u201cPlease provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.\u201d The 20-year-old snapped back, saying he had \u201csmall d*ck energy\u201d \u2013 a topic that quickly went viral on social media. The pizza box \u2013 Dec 28, 2022 After 3.9 million likes racked up on the original post from Thunberg, social media users were eagerly anticipating a response. Soon after, Tate recorded a short video of himself smoking a cigar with a pizza box in front of him. He made a joke about how the box itself was not recycled. A rumor spread over social media about Romanian police tracking down the location of the eatery that prepared the pizza, recognizing he was in Romania, and moving forward with a house raid. Thunberg posted a reply on Twitter, again. \u201cThis is what happens when you don\u2019t recycle your pizza boxes.\u201d The rumor was later dismissed by authorities, as reported by Washington Post. A spokesperson for the DIICOT said it was not the pizza box, adding: \u201cIt was a hard job gathering all the evidence\u201d for the months-long investigation. Andrew Tate arrested in raid of Romania home \u2013 Dec 29, 2022 Using the pizza box to confirm Tate was in Romania, he was subject to a house raid in his home, with the country\u2019s authorities arresting both him and his brother Tristan Tate. They were detained on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group. DIICOT confirmed they had been investigating a human trafficking ring since 2021, who were misleading victims into marriage. Four people were detained in the 24 hours of Tate being raided. Prosecutors told Reuters a cam girl business was subject to investigation. The arrest was sanctioned by the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism in Romania, with a court in Bucharest extending the defendant\u2019s detention by 30 days.

Tate blames \u201cagents of the matrix\u201d for arrest \u2013 Dec 30, 2022 Following his arrest, Andrew Tate tweeted: \u201cThe Matrix sent their agents.\u201d The tweet has been viewed over 54 million times since it was put out.

Tate\u2019s car collection seized \u2013 Jan 3, 2023 A report from a news outlet in Romania stated several assets were seized, including Andrew Tate\u2019s car collection (with his infamous Bugatti), as well as the villa owned by the two Tate brothers. \u201cThe DIICOT prosecutors also seized the impressive car collection of the two famous millionaires, worth over 5 million euros. They also seized several buildings, including the building where the two brothers lived, and allegedly seized six young women,\u201d the report says. Read more about this development here. Two women accuse Andrew Tate of rape and strangling \u2013 Jan 4, 2023 A report from VICE on January 4 stated two women had alleged Andrew Tate of physical abuse, including rape and \u201crepeatedly\u201d strangling girls who worked for the cam girl business being investigated. The news article also stated Tate had been arrested back in 2015, on suspicion of rape, with UK authorities declining to prosecute. Read more about this development here.

The short documentary will be shown on VICE TV on January 12, at 11 EST. A short trailer for it was shown a week before its release (seen below).
