Andrew Tate was mocked by the pizza company that allegedly made his arrest possible in Romania.
The 36-year-old controversial social media influencer and the former Big Brother contestant, was arrested on December 30, 2022 with his brother Tristan and two more suspects for allegedly engaging in human trafficking, per Reuters.
Tate’s arrest was reportedly made possible after he posted a video taking a jab at Greta Thunberg, an environmental activist.
Apparently, the officials were tipped off to his location by a pizza box that appeared in his video, which was of the Romanian Pizza chain.
Online, the pizza box as been hailed as a major clue into leading the authorities to Tate in the first place.
"At Jerry's Pizza, we deliver swift justice."
"Another one bites the crust."
"At Jerry's Pizza, our boxes are always recyclable."
According to AP, A spokesperson for Romanian anti-organised crime agency DIICOT said that Tate along with his brothers and two others, were arrested on charges of being part of an organised crime group, human trafficking and rape. The agency said the British citizens recruited women who were subjected to “acts of physical violence and mental coercion,” sexually exploited by group members and forced to perform pornographic acts intended to reap “important financial benefits.”
The statement didn’t name the Tate brothers. Photographs published by Romanian media outlets appeared to show Tate being led away in handcuffs by masked law enforcement officers.
