Ex-kickboxer and Obsession Archivesonline influencer Andrew Tate was detained in Romania in connection to an alleged human trafficking case, Reuters reported Friday.

Tate will be detained for 24 hours, alongside his brother Tristan and two other suspects from Romania. The arrests come after a Romanian anti-organised-crime unit raided Tate's properties, where they found six women who are alleged to have been sexually exploited by the suspects.

"The four suspects ... appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost," the prosecutors said.

SEE ALSO: Who is Andrew Tate? And why is the controversial figure taking over TikTok?

Tate, who has millions of social media followers, has gained notoriety for his misogynistic comments, which resulted in him getting banned from major social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube (some of the bans were later lifted). He earns money by selling an online course called "Hustler's University 2.0," and runs an adult webcam business called "myfreecams." Originally operated out of the UK, Tate's myfreecams business resulted in a raid by the UK authorities after one of the women working for the site alleged Tate had hit her. In a YouTube video dated May 2021, Tate said he then moved to Romania where the laws aren't as strict.
