Things are getting worse for the Tate brothers. Andrew and Tristan were visited in custody by the British consul in Bucharest and the head of the embassy’s economic department, according to information obtained by GÂNDUL.
The meeting took place on Wednesday and the British officials are due to come again to the capital’s police headquarters, where the Tate millionaires are incarcerated.
The British Consul in Bucharest came to the Bucharest police station accompanied by the head of the Embassy’s economic department.
The British officials’ visit to the prison comes as new searches in the Tate case take place on Thursday. Prosecutors descended on locations in Bucharest, Ilfov and Prahova, judicial sources told GÂNDUL. Videochat studio owners are targeted.
Early Thursday morning, prosecutors and police officers went to several addresses in Ilfov and Prahova counties and in Bucharest.
In total, seven locations are targeted by prosecutors. Evidence is being sought in the case of videochat business, from studio owners allegedly linked to brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate.
One of the raids is on Vlad Obu, a former martial arts fighter who runs a videochat studio in Voluntari.
Sources close to the investigation told GÂNDUL that documents are being checked and equipment is being collected for the computer search.
According to GÂNDUL sources, investigators are likely to extend the prosecution in the case against the two millionaires of British origin, in the case opened by DIICOT.
Law enforcement officers want to collect new evidence in the case opened by DIICOT, in which they are investigating for the establishment of a criminal group, rape and human trafficking.
Sources consulted by GÂNDUL say that Thursday’s raids also targeted the girlfriend of one of the two millionaires, with whom the Brit has a child.
In front of the judges, one of the Tate brothers said he and his girlfriend have a young child to persuade the court to release him.
He failed to impress the court with this, and what’s more, his girlfriend has now also been searched in the case of the two Brits’ business in Romania.
What the Tate brothers are doing in detention, if they have regrets or not, if they understand their situation, are information that you can find in the extensive interview conducted by Gândul with lawyer Eugen Vidineac that you can watch in full on the Youtube channel.
