Andrew Tate's home in Romania has been raided by police as part of a new investigation into allegations of human trafficking and money laundering.

In a statement on Wednesday, the controversial online influencer's representatives said: "Although the allegations in the search warrant are not yet fully clarified, they include suspicions of human trafficking and money laundering.

"The brothers' legal team is present to ensure that all formalities are carried out correctly."

Romanian organised crime authorities confirmed they had carried out the raids across multiple addresses in the country, relating to allegations of setting up an organised criminal group, trafficking of minors, human trafficking, sexual intercourse with a minor and more.

Romanian officials carried out four search warrants across the country

Romania's Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism (Diicot) said it had carried out four home search warrants within Ilfov county and the Bucharest municipality in another blow for the 37-year-old.

Just last month, a Romanian court of appeal overturned a previous ruling which handed Tate and his brother Tristan free movement throughout the EU while the pair awaited a human trafficking trial.
