Romanian investigators used Andrew Tate's social media activity to catch controversial ex-kickboxer

Investigators in Romania reportedly used the social media activity of controversial former kickboxing world champion Andrew Tate to find his location prior to his arrest.

The former fighter, 36 one of four people arrested on Thursday in connection with an investigation to alleged human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group by police in Romania, with his brother Tristan, 34, also held for questioning along with two other pals. Tristan is a former kickboxing champion, holding the European title on a number of occasions.

And reports in Romania are claiming that the police used recent social media posts from the Tate brothers to confirm their location ahead of a raid on their mansion. Fans on social media have shared a speculative theory that his recent response video to Greta Thunberg, in which he receives pizza boxes from a Romanian restaurant, was what gave him away.
