Romanian authorities have seized several luxury cars from social media influencer Andrew Tate's property in Bucharest.
In total, 11 cars, including a Rolls-Royce, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, were seen being taken from the Tate compound in the outskirts of Bucharest on Saturday for transportation to a storage facility, the Reuters news agency reported.
The move follows searches by Romania's crime agency of properties in the counties of Bucharest, Ilfov and Prahova, as part of an investigation relating to human trafficking and rape charges against the 36-year-old British-US citizen.
Tate was detained on December 29 in Bucharest. His brother Tristan and two Romanian women have also been arrested.
Last Tuesday, a court upheld a judge's ruling on December 30 to extend their arrests from 24 hours to 30 days. They have denied all allegations.
Tate rose to notoriety in 2016 when he was removed from reality TV show Big Brother over a video that appeared to show him hitting a woman with a belt.
A former kickboxing world champion, he has amassed millions of followers across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok.

What is 'Soft Power'?
Soft power was first mentioned in 1990 by former US Defence Secretary Joseph Nye.
He believed that there were alternative ways of cultivating support from other countries, instead of achieving goals using military strength.
Soft power is, at its root, the ability to convince other states to do what you want without force.
This is traditionally achieved by proving that you share morals and values.
Islamophobia definition
A widely accepted definition was made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims in 2019: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” It further defines it as “inciting hatred or violence against Muslims”.
