Romanian
authorities have seized several luxury cars from influencer Andrew Tate's villa
as part of a criminal inquiry into alleged human trafficking that led to his
arrest.
The cars,
which included a Rolls-Royce and a BMW, were taken from Tate's villa in
Voluntari on the outskirts of Bucharest and transported by police to a secret
warehouse.
The
self-proclaimed misogynist was arrested in the capital on 29 December, on
charges of being part of an organised crime group, human trafficking and rape.
His brother
Tristan and two Romanian women were also arrested. They have denied wrongdoing.
The
36-year-old British-US citizen has 4.4 million followers on Twitter and was
previously banned from various prominent social media platforms for expressing
misogynistic views and hate speech.
Earlier
this week, prosecutors said they had seized 15 luxury vehicles and more than 10
properties and homes belonging to the suspects to prevent the assets being sold
or hidden.
Romanian
police also carried out raids on several homes as part of their investigation.
On Tuesday,
Tate lost an appeal against his continued arrest in Romania.
The four
suspects challenged their 30-day arrest warrant, but the Bucharest court of
appeals rejected the challenge and said they should remain in police custody.
Tate and
the other three suspects were arrested by Romanian anti-organised crime
prosecutors on charges of forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit six
women.
Prosecutors
have said the Tate brothers recruited their victims by seducing them and
falsely claiming to want a relationship.
