It's scary that this man was an online influencer, quite popular amongst children / teens, while at the same time doing this. And that people are defending him.
The controversial British-American influencer Andrew Tate will be held in detention in Romania for 30 days, after a court agreed to a police request.
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.
Earlier, a police spokesperson told the BBC that the 36-year-old would be held at a "detention centre".
On Thursday night, Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism issued a statement, but did not name the Tate brothers, stating that two British citizens and two Romanian citizens were suspected of being part of a human trafficking group.
The statement said officers had identified six people who were allegedly "sexually exploited" by what it called an "organised criminal group".
Police alleged the victims were "recruited" by the British citizens, who they said had misrepresented their intention to enter into a relationship with the victims - which it called "the loverboy method".
They were later forced to perform in pornographic content under threat of violence, the statement alleged.

The story on how they discovered he was in Romania is so good you can't script it.

Here's a Twitter thread about how he got caught.

Although a good story, the pizza box thing is almost certainly a fabrication from Twitter.
