Andrew Tate has been dealt yet another blow as Romanian authorities have seized a number of his luxury vehicles.
As reported by Sky News, authorities arrived at Tate's Bucharest villa on Saturday, where they started removing a number of luxury cars.
It comes after the social media influencer and his brother, Tristan Tate, were arrested on December 29 in relation to human trafficking and rape charges, as well as allegations of exploiting women to create pornography.
Tate's shocking arrest came just hours after he posted a video on Twitter attempting to mock teen activist Greta Thunberg, who had previously challenged Tate on the size of his manhood after he boasted about his many luxury cars.
Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT), revealed last month that the controversial influencers have been under investigation since April, alongside two Romanian nationals.
All four individuals have strongly denied any wrongdoing.
The Tates are currently being held in Romanian custody for a 30-day period. On Tuesday, they lost an appeal against their continued arrest.
Now, less than two weeks after it was revealed that 11 of Andrew Tate's cars had been seized - Sky News reports that even more of the influencer's vehicles are now in the hands of the police.
The outlet reports that a Rolls-Royce and a BMW were among the vehicles seized, and transported to a secret police warehouse.
This comes after Romanian prosecutors announced that police had also seized more than 10 properties and homes belonging to the suspects, in an attempt to prevent the assets being hidden or sold.
At the time of the Tate brothers' arrests, DIICOT released a statement revealing that Tates had been arrested on charges related to human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized criminal group.
"The prosecutors of the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism - Central Structure together with police officers from the Bucharest Organized Crime Brigade implemented five home search warrants in a case in which investigations under the aspect of committing the crimes of constituting an organized criminal group, human trafficking, and rape," DIICOT wrote in the statement.
When describing the details of the crime, it was said that their victims were "transported and housed in buildings in Ilfov county where, by exercising acts of physical violence and mental coercion (through intimidation, constant surveillance, control, and invoking alleged debts), they were sexually exploited by group members by forcing them to perform pornographic demonstrations for the purpose of producing and disseminating material through social media platforms [...] and by submitting to the execution of forced labor."
As per the New York Post, Romanian prosecutors also added that "The four suspects... would have gained important sums of money" from posting the content to "specialized websites at a cost."
The former Big Brother contestant has reportedly lived in Romania since 2017.
