Romanian police reportedly conducted a raid early Wednesday at the home of internet personality Andrew Tate as new allegations involving minors emerged.
Masked officers searched the Bucharest residence of Tate, who is already facing charges including human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to exploit women, according to The Associated Press. Authorities also reportedly searched his homes in nearby Ilfov County.
The operation is part of an ongoing investigation led by Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, which is examining claims of human trafficking, trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor, influencing statements and money laundering.
