Andrew Tate Release Rumors flood the internet as Romanian Authorities stay tight lipped

Andrew Tate and his brother were recently arrested during a raid carried out by the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) at the controversial internet figure's place of residence in Bucharest, Romania. The brothers have been detained on suspicion of multiple crimes, including human trafficking.

News of Tate's arrest has spread like wildfire across social media and has been the trending topic of discussion among users across most social platforms. The 36-year-old also recently engaged in a back-and-forth with climate activist Greta Thunberg.

While the Romanian authorities have maintained their silence on the issue, it seems that rumors of Tate's release have circulated on the internet. Some Twitter accounts have claimed that Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were set free soon after their arrest and that suspicions of financial crimes caused the raid.

It could be that the rumors are spreading in the absence of any official confirmation from Romanian law enforcement. With many such tweets reporting about the Tate brothers being released, other keen-eyed Twitter users pointed out the falseness of such claims.

UFC women's flyweight celebrates Andrew Tate getting arrested, calls it a "cake ending to 2022"

Andrew Tate was recently arrested in a raid carried out at his residence in Romania. It is thought that his two-minute video response to environmental activist Greta Thunberg allegedly played a role in the arrest as the pizza box shown in the video tipped off authorities about his presence in Romania.

UFC women's flyweight Lauren Murphy seemed happy to see the polarizing figure get handcuffed as she took to Twitter to weigh in on the arrest. Referencing the former kickboxer's Twitter feud with Thunberg, Murphy brutally slammed Tate, writing:

This is not the first time that the two brothers have been under investigation for their alleged involvement in criminal activity. Earlier this year in April, Andrew Tate's residence in Romania was raided by authorities but he wasn't arrested due to a lack of evidence.

It was reported that the two brothers have been under investigation since April alongside two Romanian nationals.
