‘Manfluencer’ Andrew Tate to be placed under house arrest

A Romanian court has placed internet personality and self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate under house arrest pending an investigation into human trafficking and sexual exploitation, his representative said.
The bigger picture: The former professional kickboxer and his brother Tristan were among six people held for 24 hours after Romania’s anti-organised crime unit, DIICOT, carried out four house searches.

DIICOT asked the Bucharest court to arrest the Tate brothers for 30 days, but the judge placed Tate under house arrest for that period and his brother under judicial supervision.

The key quote: “The Tates welcome the decision and strongly deny all allegations made against them. They stress that the allegations are baseless and not supported by substantial evidence,” their representative Mateea Petrescu wrote in a statement.
What else you need to know: In mid-2023, Tate, along with his brother and two Romanian female suspects, were charged with human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, charges they denied.
Tate has gained millions of fans by promoting an ultra-masculine lifestyle that critics say demeans women.
