Andrew Tate was investigated for human trafficking in April 2022
Andrew Tate’s connection to human trafficking first emerged in April 2022. His house was raided after a woman claimed to have been kidnapped. An investigation was started too, but Tate claimed the situation was a hoax that arose out of his fame.
Tate wasn’t always related to sketchy situations though. The Washington native was once a professional kickboxer with an impressive record of 76-9. He last fought in December 2020, just before his social media handles began kicking off.
