Masked police officers in Romania carried out fresh raids early Wednesday at the home of divisive internet influencer Andrew Tate, who is awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, said it was searching four homes in Bucharest and nearby Ilfov county, investigating allegations of human trafficking, the trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor, influencing statements and money laundering. The agency added that hearings will later be held at its headquarters.
I can’t remember the details, and too lazy to search it up right now, but I think it was like Greta and him were having a Twitter argument, and he maybe posted a photo with a background that accidentally disclosed his location, so authorities who were already looking to arrest him were able to act on it.
Pizza box with an identifiable store narrowing down his location. Romanian police say the brothers whereabouts were already known due to an ongoing investigation, but the timing of the arrest sure is funny.

I mean, there are many addresses within the vicinity of any given pizza place. Pretty doubtful that nothing but a pizza box could reveal exactly where somebody is.
“Hey Pizza Shop, it’s The Law here. Did you have any orders for an ‘A. Tate’ recently? You did? Where did you deliver them to? Ok, thanks.”
Stupider things have happened and if I was a detective you’d be damn sure I’d at least give this a try.
