Controversial influencer Andrew Tate has reportedly been arrested and detained in Romania overnight.
The controversial social media star, 36, was arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organised crime group. His brother Tristan and two Romanians have also been arrested, prosecutors said.
It's believed that officials may have tracked him down after his viral video about Greta Thunberg revealed his location.
In the video, self-proclaimed misogynist Tate receives a pizza delivery - it's believed the restaurant brand name on the box tipped off Romanian authorities to his location.

Prosecutors said: "The four suspects... appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost. They would have gained important sums of money."
Tate, a former professional kickboxer turned controversial media personality, has hit headlines constantly this year for his views about women.
He's gained a large following online but has previously been banned from Twitter, Instagram, and most notably TikTok.
He first rose to fame in 2016 when he was removed from Big Brother after a video emerged that appeared to show him attacking a woman with a belt. He claimed the clip was edited.
Now back on Twitter, Tate gloated to Greta Thunberg that he currently has 33 cars and that 'this is just the start' of his growing collection.
She responded with what is a now-viral tweet with over 3.2 million likes and counting, writing on Twitter: “Yes, please do enlighten me. Email me at smalld**kenergy@getalife.com.”
He then shared a video of himself smoking a cigar in a silk robe with a bizarre rant, in which he accused the 'global matrix' of deploying a 'bot farm' to make the 19-year-old’s tweet go viral.
It's believed this video may be what's led to his arrest - he and his brother Tristan have been under criminal investigation since April.

Jacob Elordi says the sexiest thing about Yorkshire is ‘rocks and sheep’
As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
