New searches are taking place Thursday morning in the case of brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate. Prosecutors raided 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 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 stated, for GANDUL, that documents are being checked and equipment is being picked up to carry out the IT 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 setting up a criminal group, rape and human trafficking.
„This morning, DIICOT prosecutors – Central Structure, in the continuation of investigations in the case concerning the commission of the offences of establishing an organised criminal group, human trafficking and rape, are executing seven house search warrants in Bucharest and Ilfov and Prahova counties.
Judicial activities are carried out together with police officers from BCCO Bucharest and SCCO Ilfov.
We would like to point out that throughout the criminal proceedings the persons under investigation benefit from the procedural rights and guarantees provided by the Code of Criminal Procedure, as well as the presumption of innocence,” DIICOT said on Thursday morning.
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.
