Romanian authorities have reportedly focused their attention on a number of Tate’s luxury vehicles on the property. According to Antenna 3 CNN, a police trailer is also on-site, potentially to transport one or multiple vehicles.
Tate faced allegations of human trafficking in Romania in April 2022. However, Tate dismissed the allegations, stating that the issues arose from a swatting incident.
“I was not arrested. What happened is I suffered from a case of swatting. It’s very popular with people who are large on the internet.”
