According to reports, Romanian law enforcement officers have confiscated millions of dollars of assets from a Bucharest compound belonging a former kickboxer and social media influencer Andrew Tate as part of their investigation into sex trafficking.

Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) alleges that the four suspects operated the criminal enterprise throughout the U.S. and Europe.
