Andrew Tate was taken into custody in relation to an alleged human trafficking case.
Tate and his brother will be in custody for a day. Six women were allegedly sexually exploited by the suspects, who were arrested after a raid on Tate's properties.
According to the prosecutors, the four suspects created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content for a fee.
The crimes of constituting an organized criminal group, human traffickers and rape are being investigated by the DIICOT. Two of the four suspects are British citizens, while the other two are from Romania, according to the pressrelease.
Tate, who has millions of social media followers, was banned from major social media platforms after making misogynistic comments. He makes money by selling an online course called "Hustler's University 2.0" and by selling adult webcams. Tate's myfree cams business was raided by the UK authorities after one of the women working for the site alleged Tate had hit her. Tate said in a video that he moved to Romania because the laws there are not as strict.

Tate made headlines recently after boasting about his expensive cars with "enormous emissions" on his website.
The pizza boxes seen in the video appear to be from a Romania pizza place, so the police may have learned about Tate's location from the video. When you don't recycle your pizza boxes, this is what happens.
