Macho influencer Andrew Tate (36) is in custody in Romania. He, his brother and two other suspects are accused of human trafficking and rape.
The Taliban are worried. But they don’t tremble for one of their own, but for the macho influencer Andrew Tate (36). That’s what former beauty queen Sameera Khan (31), a fervent supporter of the influencer, claims.
The alleged rapist was arrested in Romania for human trafficking. Khan announced on Saturday that he wanted to exchange views with Taliban representatives on Tate’s arrest in a Twitter space. The Taliban “say the West needs Andrew Tate because the people are oppressed by feminists,” the self-proclaimed “anti-Woke journalist” tweeted.

Tate brothers are said to have coerced women into sex and pornography
Twitter Spaces allows users to have live conversations on the platform via an audio chat room, with certain people selected as “speakers” and others as “listeners”.
Whether members of the Taliban were actually among the participants in the Twitter space cannot be independently verified. On Monday, a screenshot circulated on Twitter, which should show the participants. Tate announced on the right-wing social media platform Gettr in October 2022 that he had converted to Islam.
Andrew and his brother Tristan have been in custody for 30 days since Friday. That was decided by a court in Bucharest. The decision was preceded by a five-hour interrogation and three-hour deliberations.
The brothers and two other suspects are accused of forming a criminal gang with the aim of “recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to produce pornographic content for use on relevant paid websites”. (nad)
