Online influencer Andrew Tate was detained in Romania and handed an arrest warrant issued by British authorities, his spokesperson said March 12. Tate, 37, and his brother Tristan Tate were detained on the evening of March 11 for 24 hours on allegations of sexual aggression in a U.K. case dating back to 2012-15, spokesperson Mateea Petrescu said. She said the Bucharest Court of Appeal is set to make a “pivotal decision” March 12 on whether to execute the warrants issued by U.K.’s Westminster Magistrates Court. Andrew Tate is charged in a separate case in Romania with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
