Andrew Tate is facing more legal troubles … the online influencer was busted Monday in Romania for alleged sexual offenses.
Tate and his brother, Tristan, were detained last evening for 24 hours after UK authorities issued arrest warrants accusing them of sexual aggression and exploiting people in Great Britain from 2012 to 2015.

Their spokesperson, Mateea Petrescu, categorically denied the accusations to the Associated Press, saying the Tate’s “express profound disappointment that such serious allegations are being resurrected without substantial new evidence.”

Four women complained to UK authorities, claiming the Tates physically and sexually abused them. But prosecutors declined to move forward with the cases, prompting the accusers to pursue civil litigation against the brothers as a last resort to hold them accountable.

The Bucharest Court of Appeal is expected to make a decision Tuesday on whether to execute the arrest warrants, carrying out the orders issued by the UK’s Westminster Magistrates Court in London while the brothers are detained.
In a separate case, the Tates were indicted in Romania last year for rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

A year earlier, the Tates were originally arrested with two women in that case, but they were released from jail after 3 months and put on house arrest. The brothers have denied any wrongdoing.
Andrew Tate was a former professional kickboxer who appeared on the reality show “Big Brother.” He now runs prominent social media platforms expressing what many view as hate speech.
