That didn’t quite go to plan: Two days after letting climate activist Greta Thunberg hang out the auto-macho on Twitter, former kickboxing pro Andrew Tate was arrested in Romania on Thursday.
Justice found out about the alleged trafficker, rapist and gang criminal because he spread a hate video against Thunberg that showed a pizza box with a Romanian inscription.
In the video, Tate, in a red boxer jacket and cigar in hand, spoke of Thunberg after “burning” a swanky tweet from Tate. Tate went straight to the climate activist to brag about his gas guzzlers.
“Hi Greta Thunberg. I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo. My TWO Ferrari 812 competitive have 6.5L v12s. That’s just the beginning. Please give me your email address so I can send you a full list of my car collection and their respective huge emissions,” Tate captioned a photo of him refueling a sports car on Tuesday.
Thunberg counters
The climate activist refuted this by evoking a well-known stereotype about fat sports car owners. “Yes, please enlighten me. Email me at [email protected] ([email protected]),” Thunberg tweeted.

Tate was banned from social media for misogynistic comments and hate speech. So he could not be present on Twitter for years. The ban was lifted by new Twitter boss Elon Musk. After Tate’s arrest, this move was mocked. Ironically, one user wrote that she had to agree with Musk in hindsight because “Andrew Tate’s Twitter reentry was a contribution to the fight against human trafficking”.
Arrested with brother
Tate was arrested together with his brother Tristan, the Romanian prosecutor reports, according to the Reuters news agency. There was also a raid on the couple’s apartment in Bucharest. The investigations against the two brothers have been ongoing since April.
There are four suspects in total. They are accused of forming a criminal gang for the purpose of “recruiting, harboring and exploiting women by forcing them to produce pornographic content for use on relevant paid websites”. Six women were found who had been exploited by the suspects. (cpf/sda/apa)
