Andrew Tate: Police release raid video after influencer arrested

A Romanian court has agreed to a police request to hold the controversial influencer Andrew Tate in detention for 30 days.

Tate was arrested alongside his brother Tristan on Thursday as part of an investigation into allegations of human trafficking and rape.

Authorities suspect the pair, along with two Romanian men, of running an "an organised crime group".

Tristan, and two others, were also detained by the court in Bucharest.

Andrew Tate, 36, has yet to comment directly on the accusations.

But after being detained, a tweet was sent from his Twitter account alluding to the 1999 movie The Matrix.

"The Matrix sent their agents," the post said. The account also retweeted Matrix memes posted by Twitter owner Elon Musk.

During the detention hearing, the two brothers maintained their right to silence, their lawyer told the BBC.

Earlier, a police spokesperson told the BBC that the 36-year-old would be held at a "detention centre".

Born in the US before moving to the UK, Mr Tate went on to have a successful career as a kickboxer.

In 2016, he he was removed from British TV show Big Brother over a video which appeared to show him attacking a woman. He then set up a "webcam business", which he described as "adult entertainment".

He went on to gain global notoriety and online, with Twitter banning him for saying women should "bear responsibility" for being sexually assaulted. He has since been reinstated.

But despite social media bans he gained popularity, particularly among young men, by promoting an ultra-masculine, ultra-luxurious lifestyle.

He regularly appeared in videos with his fleet of expensive sports cars, private jets and on expensive holidays.
