According to an official press issued by Romania's Directorate, Tristan Tate and his brother Andrew Tate allegedly were a part of an organized criminal group that also included two other Romanian citizens and hence they were arrested.

The first time they were detained was on April 11, 2022, and were questioned for five hours over human trafficking and rape allegations.
