Andrew Tate and his brother detained in Romania over sexual aggression allegations

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been detained in Romania and handed an arrest warrant issued by British authorities, his spokesperson has said.

The 36-year-old influencer and his brother were detained on Monday (11 March) evening on allegations of sexual aggression in a UK case dating between 2012 and 2015, said spokeswoman Mateea Petrescu.

She said the Bucharest Court of Appeal is set to make a 'pivotal decision' today (12 March) on whether to execute the warrants issued by Westminster Magistrates Court.

According to his spokeswoman the Tates 'categorically reject all charges'.

Tate is charged in a separate case in Romania with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

He was arrested near Bucharest in December 2022 along with Tristan and two Romanian women.

Romanian prosecutors formally indicted all four in June last year and they have denied the allegations.

He spent several months under house arrest while awaiting a trial date which is yet to be confirmed.
