Why was Andrew Tate's compound raided?
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in December 2022 based on allegations of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group to sexually exploit women.
According to fresh reports, DIICOT, Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, conducted a raid on four homes in Bucharest and nearby Ilfov county. The law enforcement agency said on Wednesday that they were investigating allegations of human trafficking, and the trafficking of minors. According to a press release on the official DIICOT website:
"A criminal case regarding the commission of the crimes of forming an organized criminal group, trafficking in minors, trafficking in persons, sexual intercourse with a minor, influencing statements, and money laundering. The hearings are held at the headquarters of DIICOT - Central Structure. The action benefits from the support of gendarmes from the Special Intervention Brigade of the Gendarmerie."
Moreover, the statement further claimed that special support was provided by the Technical and Forensic Service and the Romanian police.
