Andrew Tate has luxury cars 'seized by Romanian authorities' after losing appeal
Romanian authorities have seized several luxury cars from social media influencer Andrew Tate's property in Bucharest, according to a journalist at the scene.
Vehicles including a Rolls-Royce, BMW and Mercedes-Benz were seen being taken from the Tate compound in the outskirts of the capital on Saturday for transportation to a storage facility, news agency Reuters has reported.
This comes after Romania's crime agency searched properties in the counties of Bucharest, Ilfov and Prahova as part of investigations into charges against the 36-year-old British-US citizen relating to human trafficking and rape.
Tate was detained on December 29 in Bucharest, while his brother Tristan and two Romanian women have also been arrested.
On January 10, a court upheld a judge's ruling on December 30 to extend their arrest from 24 hours to 30 days. They have denied all allegations.

Tate rose to notoriety in 2016 when he was removed from reality TV show Big Brother over a video that appeared to show him hitting a woman with a belt.
A former kickboxing world champion, he has amassed millions of followers across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok.
Tate revealed this week that he was disappointed at the decision not to overturn his 30-day detention.

Andrew and Tristan vehemently deny all accusations made against them. They do not condone violence towards women or agree with any coercive behaviour.
"Social media is an extremely powerful tool in today's society. The use of viral, satirical comments and videos across social media has led some of the public to believe fictitious allegations against the Tate brothers.
"Social media has connected people worldwide at the touch of a button; however, it is important to remember that everything you see and read online should be taken with caution and more profound research. Andrew and Tristan are thankful for the monumental amount of online support they have received.”
