The Romanian home of social media influencer Andrew Tate, known for his misogynistic views online, was searched again early Wednesday as he awaits trial on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

Romanian authorities said they had searched four houses in Bucharest and the nearby Ilfov county and were investigating allegations of human trafficking, trafficking in minors, sexual intercourse with minors, manipulation of statements and money laundering.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, 36, both former kickboxers and British and American citizens with millions of social media followers, were arrested near Bucharest in 2022 along with two Romanian women. They were formally charged last year and have denied the allegations.

After their arrest in 2022, the brothers were held in police custody for three months before being placed under house arrest. Later, their stay was restricted to Bucharest and Ilfov counties, and eventually to all of Romania. Last month, a court overturned an earlier decision allowing the Tate brothers to leave Romania while awaiting trial. The decision was final.

Andrew Tate has repeatedly claimed that prosecutors have no evidence against him and that there is a political conspiracy to silence him. He has previously been banned from various social media platforms for misogynistic views and hate speech.

In April, a court ruled that the trial could begin but did not set a date.
