He and his brother, Tristan, and two Romanian women were accused of recruiting women and forced them to make pornographic content.

Romanian officials said in August that they investigated the Tate brothers for the trafficking of minors and supposed sexual relations with a minor.

Romania, a key ally of the US

The US supports Romania in its military modernization, improving its interoperability with US and NATO forces and increasing its expeditional implementation capabilities in support of collective defense and coalition operations with the US.

After the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, the US looked for several NATO partners. Thus, the contribution of Romania to the multinational forces in Afghanistan opened the way for NATO membership in 2004.

But Romania is now facing a complex threat from Russia, after Moscow has responded to these developments by achieving statins in Georgia (Abhazia and South Ossetia) and the annexation of Crimea, directly supporting secessionist movements in Ukraine.

Due to the current geopolitics, with conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, along with the relations tense with the NATO Turkey, Romania was raised in a crucial position.

Why Andrew Tate chose Romania

The reports suggest that Andrew moved to Romania in 2017, while facing several sexual assault investigations in the UK. He said that Romania is more attractive.

“I am not a rapist, but I like the idea of ​​being able to do only what I want. I like to be free, “said Tate.” Romania is a beautiful place … There are no feminists, there is no open homosexuality. (…) No homosexual agenda, “he said in a clip now deleted.

According to The Lead.co.uk, Romania is the largest country in the Balkans, the southeastern peninsula of Europe, often mocking both in the news cover and in the comments as corrupt, underdeveloped and crime . It is the kind of place where “women are raped and they like it,” as the most famous academic export of the Balkans said, Slavoj žižek, said in the mocking of Western perceptions.

The webcam and video chat industry is a key source of income in criminal and interior circles in Romania. According to activists, fighting against exploitation, the industry was ravaging in 180 million euros in 2021, about 70% of the projects operating illegally.

A poll conducted by the main anti-fascism charity in the UK “Hope Not Hate” in February 2023 found that 79% of boys between the ages of 16 and 17 consumed Tate’s online content.

The survey that includes more than 1,200 young people from the UK between the ages of 16 and 24, also showed that 46% of them had a positive vision.
