Andrew Tate’s most prized possession, his Bugatti, has been seized by Romanian authorities, Media Take Out has confirmed.
Controversial influencer Andrew Tate, who boasted about owning 33 cars to climate activist Greta Thunberg last month, lost 11 luxury cars after the police in Romania seized them.
Andrew is currently in cutstody by Romanian officials as they investigate him for alleged human trafficking, Media Take Out has reported.
In addition to the Bugatti worth $2.9 million, police also seized a Rolls-Royce worth at least $300,000 and an Aston Martin worth around $250,000, and 8 other luxury vehicles.
Police also seized dozens of expensive watches, which have an estimated value of more than $2 million.
Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romania’s DIICOT investigations agency, told Insider that the cars were being seized to “sustain the cost of the investigation” and that they would also be collateral to fund any payments to the alleged victims.
Andrew is an American-British social media personality, businessman, and former professional kickboxer. Following his kickboxing career, he began offering paid courses and memberships through his website and later rose to fame as an Internet celebrity. A self-described misogynist, Tate’s controversial commentary has resulted in his suspension from several social media platforms.
On December 29, 2022, Tate and his brother, Tristan, were arrested in Romania along with two other suspects, and charged with human trafficking and forming an organized crime group. Romanian police allege that the group coerced victims into creating paid pornography for social media. On December 30, 2022, a judge ordered him to be remanded in custody for 30 days, while the investigation continues.
