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.

Leeds United is home to one of the Premier League’s cheapest stadium pints, new data reveals
Leeds United fans looking for a crisp pre-match pint, you're in luck.
Why? Because new data has revealed Leeds United as one of the Premier League clubs offering the cheapest pints in their stadium
And it's all down to credit card provider Zable, who analysed the average price of a pint at every Premier League stadium.
You'll be glad to know that Leeds United ranked a very respectable eighth among the Premier League teams with the cheapest pre-match pints, with fans paying an average £5.60 at Elland Road.

However, supporters can currently get a cheaper drink at pubs around the stadium, where the average pint costs £4.74.
Ipswich Town have the cheapest pint at £3.50, followed by Coventry at £3.60 and Hull City at £3.90.
The top 10 cheapest stadium match day pints:
Ipswich (£3.50)
Coventry (£3.60)
Hull City (£3.90)
Liverpool (£4.80)
Sunderland (£5.00)
Everton (£5.50)
Newcastle United (£5.60)
Leeds United (£5.60)
Bournemouth (£5.60)
Brighton & Hove Albion (£5.80)
Adam McAllister at Zable says: "For many fans, grabbing a pint before kick-off is part and parcel of the matchday experience, but our research shows that where you choose to drink can make a noticeable difference to the price. While stadium pints are often assumed to be more expensive, that's not always the case.
"With the cost of attending football continuing to add up, from tickets and travel to food and drinks, small differences like these can make a real impact on the overall cost of a matchday. Taking a little time to compare prices before heading to the stadium this season could help fans make their money go further, whether they choose to have a pint at the pub or inside the ground."
Leeds Bradford Airport workers to strike over half term, as industrial action escalates in dispute over pay
Clementine Hall
Strikes by almost 130 workers at Leeds Bradford Airport are set to escalate.
If you're planning on catching a flight from Leeds Bradford Airport, then you may want to double check the date.
Last week it was announced that workers were set to strike and bring the airport to complete standstill in a dispute over pay.
Today it has been announced that thestrikes are set to escalate and a second set of strikes have been announced.
The Unite members planning on going on strike are a mixture of air traffic control workers, customer experience staff, security staff and cleaners.
The workers involved in the dispute have recently come out of a four-year pay deal, with some of the departments having fallen behind other airports in equivalent roles.
Pay talks have been happening since December 2025, with the airport's formal offer not going far enough to address the lack of pay parity.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "It is wrong that workers at Leeds Bradford Airport are paid far less than those doing the same job at another nearby airport.
"These are essential workers who play a vital role in ensuring the smooth running of the airport and the safety of passengers and deserve fair pay. Unite will always fully back our members taking action at Leeds Bradford Airport.”
The original strikes were due to take place from 03:00 this Friday 16 October to 06:00 Sunday 18 October for hourly paid staff and from 06:00 Friday 16 October to 06:00 Sunday 18 October for air traffic control workers.
The next round of industrial action will now take place from Monday 23 October to Wednesday 2 November, which coincides with the busy half term period.
Unite regional officer Neil Whitaker said: “We appreciate those travelling to and from Leeds Bradford Airport will be concerned to hear that there are further strike dates, but the situation is completely the fault of the airport’s management. It can end this dispute, but that relies on it coming back to the table with a fair deal for our members.”
