Bucharest has confirmed that Andrew Tate has been arrested on human trafficking expenses however reiterated that one widely reported element was inaccurate.
A popular tweet read…
“Romanian authorities wanted proof that Andrew Tate was in the nation so they reportedly used his social media posts. Steal featured a pizza from a Romanian pizza chain, Jerry’s Pizza, confirming he was within the country. This is absolutely epic.”
Some had speculated that officers had been tipped off to Tate’s whereabouts by a pizza box seen in a video directed at climate activist Greta Thunberg. But DIICOT, Romania’s company in opposition to organised crime, informed The Associated Press that that wasn’t the case.
DIICOT spokesperson Ramona Bolla said…

Tate, 36 years previous, is genuinely a 21st-century man. A former kickboxer and actuality TV failure, Tate is a “social-media character,” whatever that means. His recognition arises mostly from his comments about ladies, together with that ladies “must bare [sic] some responsibility” for being raped.

News of Tate’s arrest broke shortly after he posted the video, and reviews started swirling that his publish and the arrest were related.
Baseless assertions that the tweet and the arrest have been related rapidly emerged.
The pizza bins bore the identify of the Romanian chain Jerry’s Pizza, which the Twitterati claimed had alerted authorities that he was within the nation.
