THE Tate brothers were arrested again in Romania last night on a UK warrant and could be extradited to Britain to face trial.
Dozens of cops swarmed Andrew and Tristan’s £600,000 villa and detained them on suspicion of multiple sexual assaults.

The pair, who have dual UK and US citizenship, are being held on two European arrest warrants issued by Greater Manchester Police.
A spokesperson for the brothers told The Sun they “categorically reject” all new charges.
And controversial figure Tate put out a bizarre tweet writing “The Matrix if afraid, but I only fear God.”
Following their arrest in December last year as part of a probe into human trafficking, rape, and organised crime, they are banned from leaving Romania.
Both are set to appear in Bucharest Court today where prosecutors will lobby the judge to arrest them for 30 days and begin the extradition process.
If sent back to the UK, they will face trial for multiple sexual assaults allegedly committed before 2022.
Former kickboxer and disgraced influencer Andrew and Tristan were charged by police in June as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
They have been accused of recruiting women on social media platforms and getting them to visit their villa on the outskirts of Bucharest.
Andrew and Tristan have both denied the allegations of trafficking and rape.
Just months ago they made another bid to return to the UK to visit their sick mum after she suffered a heart attack.
Andrew, 37, and Tristan, 35, tried to request an “emergency visit” to the UK – but were shot down.
Both men are alleged to have pretended to fall in love with the women before getting them to work for their business and making them perform sexual acts on webcams.
Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, saying that he is a victim of something called The Matrix.
Controversial figure Tate has previously sparked outrage around the world over claims he’s made on social media.
And later that year, he also claimed women should bear “some responsibility” for being raped, following the allegations made against disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
He has been removed from X, formerly known as Twitter, on several occasions and in January last year, the social media site said an account he’d created on the platform was “verified in error”.
As of November, he is also banned from YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram.
Tate runs his own online network called “The War Room” which has been described as an “exclusive online network for men”.
Andrew and Tate previously won an appeal to be released from house arrest in Romania in August last year.
The ruling meant Tate, his brother Tristan and suspects Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu could leave the house, but not the capital and the surrounding Ilfov county.
Who is Andrew Tate?
ANDREW Tate is an influencer and former kickboxer who once briefly appeared on Big Brother.
He was born on December 1, 1986, in Washington, D.C. and spent time in Chicago and Indiana as a child before moving to England.
Tate began practicing kickboxing in 2005 but became a public figure when he entered the Big Brother house as a contestant during the show’s run on Channel 5.
Since appearing on the reality series, Tate has become an influencer and is known for making controversial statements.
He caused outrage in September in 2017 when he said that depression was not a real disease.
Later that year, he claimed women should bear “some responsibility” for being raped, following the allegations made against disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Tate has several other business ventures, including Hustler University and a string of casinos he owns with his brother Tristan.
Tate was charged with human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women on June 20, 2023.
His brother Tristan and two Romanian female suspects were also formally charged.
In August 2023 Tate won an appeal to be released from house arrest in Romania.
As of November 2023, he, Tristan, and the two female suspects are still awaiting trial.
