Unpopular online figure The Romanian Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism yesterday conducted a raid on Andrew Tate’s residence and temporarily detained him together with his brother Tristan Tate.
According to BNO News, the Tate brothers were seized by Romanian authorities on charges of human trafficking in connection with his cam girl company.
Andrew Tate frequently partnered and disagreed with a number of well-known streamers throughout his quick ascent to internet popularity. Tate made a notable on-stream appearance with Adin Ross and then engaged in a dispute with political analyst Hasan Piker. Tate and his supporters were denounced by a large number of people on Twitch and YouTube for their misogynistic beliefs and the Hustler’s University initiative, which many claimed was an MLM scheme. Numerous streamers responded as soon as the news of the Tate brothers’ arrest in their Pipera house surfaced. Despite the celebration of many opponents of the Tate brothers, popular World of Warcraft streamer Asmongold believed that the Tate brothers’ removal from power might have been the product of a government plot.
Asmogold speculated; “What’s the probability that the government wants to frame the Tate brothers? I don’t know, probably 50 percent. The government frames people all the time. If we’ve seen anything out of like any of the leaks from the way they tried to fuck with Martin Luther King and people like that, yeah, absolutely, the government fucks with people.”
The comparison between Andrew Tate’s detention and how the United States treated civil rights leader Martin Luther King was swiftly attacked in the Twitch streamer’s chat.
Asmongold rebuked claims that he’s taken Andrew Tate’s side, later saying “Why would you think I trust Andrew Tate? You think I can only trust the government or Andrew Tate? What if they’re both lying? Don’t put words in my mouth.”
In the end, Asmongold said that the dispute between the Tate brothers and the Romanian government would provide yet another opportunity for judicial drama since he believes Andrew Tate might ask to have his proceedings aired. Though it’s uncertain what the Tate brothers’ future may entail, Asmongold is obviously already thinking about the subject matter.
