Romanian authorities have placed internet influencer Andrew Tate under house arrest for 30 days amid new allegations of human trafficking and sexual exploitation involving minors. The decision follows a raid on Tate's home and his subsequent detention. Romanian prosecutors are investigating claims that Tate, along with his brother Tristan, engaged in sexual activities with minors, including a 15-year-old girl. The Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) is leading the investigation, which includes accusations of forming a criminal gang to exploit women. The court's decision to impose house arrest comes as part of a broader investigation into the Tates' alleged criminal activities, with reports suggesting there may be up to 49 victims.
