The controversial internet personality, also known as ‘Top G’, was arrested earlier today, December 30, 2022, in Romania with his brother Tristan Tate amid claims of human trafficking and rape charges;
However, Rap TV has since claimed that Romanian officials have confirmed Andrew Tate’s involvement in money laundering.
The outlet shared a tweet that read: “BREAKING: Romanian officials have confirmed that Andrew Tate wasn’t arrested on human trafficking charges, however he is being questioned for money laundering.”
