hopefully the truth will come out (that he was caught because of the pizza) in the course of the legal proceedings

I suspect that if he gets convicted of human trafficking and lives the rest of his life in a Romanian prison, that won't actually give his brand a boost

The rumor I believe is that he lost his protection from the Cămătarilor clan (they are one of the families that runs prostitution and gambling in Bucharest) because of the publicity.

Romania is not Schengen. They know when a non citizen is in the country.

he did brag a bunch about being protected and bribing the police, which is not that great of a thing to broadcast to your millions of followers, the police might get embarrassed at some point
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 20:08 (one year ago) link
For sure. He was (and as far as I know from what I’ve read) was staying at Ion Balint‘s compound (who I believe is or was in prison).

if theyre paying attention i mean if they really cared so much they couldve just intercepted him at the border
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 20:10 (one year ago) link
IIUC their story is they gathered enough evidence, then confirmed his location. I assume they checked social media when doing that, but Romania is not a preindustrial country. They probably also phoned the border people.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Friday, 30 December 2022 20:15 (one year ago) link
they couldve just flagged him to be held at the border if they wanted but instead they arrested him soon after he made the pizza video
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 20:18 (one year ago) link
seems pretty obvious they didnt know he was there and are lying about it because theyre cops
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 20:20 (one year ago) link
He’s been in the country for weeks on this trip hasn't he? He is a very prominent resident/visitor whose home address is known to hundreds of people. They don’t need a social post. I don’t mean to defend cops but a lot of what I see on social media seems to treat Romania as a bit of a joke.

Well, it happened. A sex trafficker finally had something to do with a pizza place. What a time to be alive. #PizzaTate— Jim Horlock (@HorlockWarlock) December 30, 2022

romania could be a joke idk much about it but the fact remains the cops did arrest him directly after he posted a very high profile video containing location information
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 20:33 (one year ago) link
The location information was a national chain?

yeah and again theyve already raided the home once before. there are a few easier more obvious ways for a militarized police force to determine if he's home than keeping track of twitter clapbacks and triangulating his location based on nearby pizza franchises. twitter addicts once again assuming the entire world as obsessed w/twitter as they are.
― waste of compute (One Eye Open), Friday, 30 December 2022 20:39 (one year ago) link
they werent "keeping track of twitter clapbacks" someone saw it and told them which is exactly how all police investigations work everywhere they sit around doing nothing until someone tells on a criminal

Seems plausible to me that the Romanian police were preparing to arrest him but when he posted a video showing that he was in Romania it suddenly became an embarrassment to them, so they picked him up ahead of plan.
― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 30 December 2022 21:12 (one year ago) link
maybe they saw the pizza box and got hungry we’ll never know
― Clay, Friday, 30 December 2022 21:15 (one year ago) link
on one side we have some very curious timing on the other weve got the police saying the word investigation
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 21:16 (one year ago) link
Yeah it’s timestamped current evidence of him being in the country, don’t know why people are so keen to rule this out and don’t much care either.
― bit high, bitch (gyac), Friday, 30 December 2022 21:19 (one year ago) link
my final theory which is also the true story is some informant saw the twitter video and called the police like hey that guy andrew tate is in the country i know because of the pizza they said oh damn really thanks then then called another informant and were all hey do you know where andrew tate is and the informant was like yeah lol hes at this house then they went over there
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 21:19 (one year ago) link
maybe he emailed his contact details to smalldickene✧✧✧@getal✧✧✧.c✧✧

nah, i've been inundated with emails all day related to what happened, the vast majority of them immature jokes, and none of them included his contact info

Just one more thing sir, then I'll be outta your hair...it's probably not important anyway. But I noticed a box of Jerry's Pizza on the table there. Me, my wife loves Jerry's, can't get enough of them. But here's the thing, I thought you could only get it in Romania... pic.twitter.com/2aaFZ2WCeB— Audrey Armstrong (Self Parody)🐀 (@lesbiaudrey) December 29, 2022

revising my position to concede that it’s quite likely his public presence in Romania embarasssd the police into making a move.
Still reject the idea that they needed reddit/bellingcat to figure out the home address of the the single most famous ex pat resident of Romania. He’s not bin laden in attabad.

The police knew where he was. He traveled to Dubai (from Romania) just last month with a group of Romanian mobsters and returned to Romania with the same group. How do I know this? Because they posted the entire time. 😂
