Social media users are commenting on a video of Andrew Tate seemingly predicting his arrest that has surfaced online.
The 36-year-old former professional kickboxer - who gained controversy for his misogynistic views - was reportedly detained by Romanian police after they found the villa he was staying at with his brother Tristan on Thursday (December 29).
As reported by the Independent, the brothers were allegedly arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group.
Following the alleged arrest, several clips featuring the notorious influencer have gone viral online. In one video that has gained prominence, Tate foreshadowed his arrest and claimed that the authorities were "going to try to kill" him.
Watch the video below:In footage from a recent podcast, the former Big Brother contestant asserted that he would "never kill himself," stating: "Listen, I'm going to say this on the podcast now, as I say it in every other one.
"I would never ever kill myself. I truly believe that they're either gonna try to kill me, in a long enough timeframe. Because they try to shut me up and I won't shut up," he stated.
Tate went on to say that "they" will either imprison him or try to murder him, and explained the strong remark by saying that "they" decide whether someone is guilty or not "long before" and will find a reason to arrest him.
"The reason I say this, and I say this and people go, 'But what can they put you in jail for?' And I'm like, 'How ignorant are you?! In your ignorance to believe they need a reason,'" he continued.
"You believe it's fair? You believe I can get a lawyer and prove myself innocent?! That's not how it works. They decide you're guilty long before and they find a reason why," Tate added.
The video concluded with Tate mentioning that every single system was "corrupted" and that people did not "understand the world".
"And it doesn't matter what you do about it, you will pay the f***ing price. It's not fair! None of it is. Every single system is corrupt," he exclaimed. "It actually annoys me when people say it to you, 'You should just get a lawyer.' Why? 'They can't put you in jail if you're innocent.' Yes, they f***ing can! And that's what people don't understand about the world."
Many online users reacted to the clip with witty responses, with one person writing: "It's easy to say that when you know that you have committed a crime."
Another shared: "Man that broke the law predicts his arrest."
A third commented: "It’s almost like his actions have consequences."
Following Tate's reported arrest, prosecutors stated that six women who were allegedly sexually exploited by the organized criminal group have been identified, per The Guardian.
"The four suspects … appear to have created an organized crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing, and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialized websites for a cost," they said. "They would have gained important sums of money."
In addition to this, a spokesperson for the two men told the Daily Mirror that he could not provide any details regarding the reports, but added: "However, Andrew and Tristan Tate have the utmost respect for the Romanian authorities and will always assist and help in any way they can."
