Andrew Tate and brother held after 'bid to escape'

Tate, 37, below, was arrested alongside his brother Tristan on allegations of sexual aggression that date back to between 2012 and 2015. Both deny all allegations against them.

Lawyers representing four British women who accuse Tate of rape and sexual assault wrote to British police to immediately seek his detention after saying they had received information he was planning to flee Romania. In a statement, McCue Jury & Partners, the law firm representing the four women said: “This morning, it came to our attention that Tate has been detained in Romania after an arrest warrant and extradition request was issued by the authorities in the United Kingdom to Romania in respect of allegations of sexual offences during the same period in which our clients allege Tate raped and assaulted them.
