Tate's representative said in a statement, "Although the allegations in the search warrant are not yet fully clarified, they include suspicions of human trafficking and money laundering."
He added, "The brothers' legal team is present to ensure that all formalities are carried out correctly."
In Jul. 2024, a Romanian court reversed a previous ruling that allowed Andrew Tate to freely move across Europe while he waited for the ruling of his human trafficking charges.

In 2022, Andrew and Tristan Tate who garnered millions of followers across social media for their controversial takes and for promoting their business 'Hustlers University," were arrested in Bucharest for similar crimes but denied all accusations made against them, according to NBC News.
Later, the Tate brothers were held for three months in police detention and were later put on house arrest.
The official website for Hustlers University describes the experience as, "an online educational platform that teaches you skills and strategies and encourages you to achieve financial freedom and live your dream."
