Tate and his brother Tristan were detained Monday evening in Bucharest and will be held for 24 hours, their spokesperson told several news outlets.
The British warrant is based on allegations of sexual aggression dating back to a period between 2012 and 2015, according to the BBC.
The Tate brothers’ spokesperson told the Associated Press that a court in the Romanian capital will now make a “pivotal decision” Tuesday on whether to execute the British-issued warrants.
The spokesperson said the brothers rejected all charges and “express profound disappointment that such serious allegations are being resurrected without substantial new evidence.”
In a post on X, Tate wrote: “The Matrix is afraid, but I only fear God.”
