It's been alleged Andrew Tate kept six women under ‘house arrest 24/7 like prisoners’. Officials close to the police investigation say Tate asked his employees to shadow his victims’ every move, forcing them to take part in online pornographic videos.
The 36-year-old was detained alongside his brother Tristan, 34, and their assistants Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu at their £600,000 villa in the capital Bucharest on December 29.
‘The abuse was physical and emotional. They were not allowed to leave the house without security and they were watched day and night,’ a Romanian judicial source told the‘They were essentially kept under house arrest 24/7 like prisoners. They were deprived of their freedom and followed everywhere.’ Prosecutors allege Tate recruited the women on social media platforms based on the false promises of professing his love and intention to marry them.The tactics, known as the ‘lover boy’ method, is often used by criminals to recruit victims who are suffering from economic hardship by seducing them with gifts and promises of a better life abroad.
Tate also runs the ‘Hustler’s Academy’ where 127,000 mostly men pay him £39 a month for tips on getting rich and dealing with life.
