Controversial internet figure Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in a human trafficking probe. The former kickboxer had his house raided in the Romanian capital, Bucharest. Several videos of the duo getting released have found their way online at the time of their detention.

Andrew Tate was interviewed in August on Tucker Carlson Tonight. In the clip, which has since gone viral, the former can be seen being asked whether he was arrested for human trafficking, to which Tate responded by saying:
“Yeah, I was not arrested. So what happened is I suffered from a case of swatting, very popular with people who are large on the internet, many large YouTubers have been swatted. It is where you call the police and say somebody has a gun or there is a hostage situation and the SWAT team arrives. Somebody made a phone call to the American embassy saying that I was holding women at my house… they turned out, they investigated, they realized nobody was in the house against their will, there was no crime committed.”

In another video that has circulated across Twitter, a journalist can be seen announcing that Tristan and Andrew Tate have been released from jail. They also showed footage of the brothers walking out of a police department. However, the footage seems to be that of the pair’s previous interaction with investigators where they were “swatted.”
A third video of the social media personality taking part in an interview is also circulating on social media. In the same, Andrew says:
“I understand that you get three strikes in this game. Strike one is they try to shut you up and discredit you. Which I’ve just been through. Strike two is they try to put you in jail for no reason and strike three is they kill you. And one of my strikes is now gone and now I firmly believe that they’re going to try and kill me because they want me to be quiet.”

It is important to note that neither of these videos are in association with the Tate brothers’ recent arrest. Neither the Romanian authorities nor the brothers themselves have come forward announcing the latter’s release. Old clips where Andrew Tate can be seen talking about his earlier exchange with the police have simply gone viral in light of his latest arrest.
