In Bucharest, the capital, Andrew Tate’s home was searched while he and his brother Tristan were being held captive.

The arrests were verified to the BBC by a police spokeswoman.

The former kickboxer gained notoriety in 2016 after being removed from the British television program Big Brother because of a video that purported to show him assaulting a lady.

As a result of his comments that women should “carry responsibility” for being sexually attacked, he later gained prominence online and was banned from Twitter. He was later given a second chance.

Despite social media prohibitions, he rose to fame by endorsing a super-masculine, super-luxurious lifestyle, especially among young males.

He frequently made appearances in recordings riding aboard private aircraft, driving a fleet of pricey sports vehicles, and taking lavish vacations.

An official from the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) told the BBC that prosecutors had requested to detain the influencer for a further 30 days in a “detention center.”

The spokeswoman noted that a court will decide on the application on Friday. The brothers and two Romanian citizens have been under investigation since April.

According to their attorney, the two brothers upheld their right to remain silent at the detention hearing. Andrew Tate and his brother were shown in a social media video being escorted out of a lavish villa. According to a representative for Tate, he was unable to give the Daily Mirror any information about the arrest. However, he continued, “Andrew and Tristan Tate have the best regard for the Romanian authorities and would always cooperate and assist in any way they can.

Later, Andrew Tate’s Twitter account issued a message that referred to the 1999 film The Matrix, which he frequently mentions in his postings. The message said that “The Matrix despatched their operatives.” The account also shared Matrix memes published by Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter.
