Who is Tristan Tate? Andrew Tate's brother who was also arrested used to work at KFC
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Internet sensation Andrew Tate got arrested on Thursday, December 29, along with his brother Tristan Tate over an investigation in a human trafficking case. The brothers are alleged of abducting two girls in Romania. The police deployed in tactical gear and arrested both the brothers from the luxurious villa they were staying at on Thursday, December 29. Andrew Tate reportedly gave away his own location after posting a clap-back video during an online argument with Greta Thunberg.
A spokesperson for the 36-year-old kickboxer told, "We cannot provide any details at the moment regarding alleged reports that they have been detained; however, Andrew and Tristan Tate have the utmost respect for the Romanian authorities and will always assist and help in any way they can," as per Daily Mail. It was alleged that the Tate brothers had detained two women against their will in their villa in April. One woman had American citizenship and the other with Romanian. It was said that the two women suffered "physical violence and mental coercion." It was said the brothers formed an organized crime group and sexually assaulted women by "forcing them to perform pornographic demonstrations pornographic for the purpose of producing and disseminating through social media platforms," as per the outlet.

The officers recovered several weapons during the raid, including several guns, a knuckle duster, hatchet and swords of varying lengths, and stacks of money, as per Libertatea. The two were reportedly questioned for five hours back in April. Andrew Tate has previously claimed that the reason he shifted to Romania was that he was somewhat sure that the police there were less likely to pursue any sexual assault allegations against him.
Who is Tristan Tate?
Some might know Tristan Tate from 'Shipwrecked: The Island' in 2011. Otherwise, he has followed in the footsteps of his brother and is also a professional kickboxer, and is now a popular social media influencer. Tristan claimed to have worked at a KFC. In an episode of 'Tate Speech podcast', Tristan remembered his humble beginnings and he said, "I used to drive my broken Volkswagen Golf to the KFC restaurant in Dunstable, United Kingdom, and I used to sit in my car. And you couldn't ever eat anyone's leftover food if they ever had their mouth on it. But at KFC, they used to buy buckets, and I would sit and wait for people to sit outside, eat their meal, and leave the bucket on the table. And I used to go and take that bucket. Three or four pieces of chicken."
Tristan has a casino venture along with his brother and calls himself a "European Kickboxing Champion, Millionaire, Philanthropist." He has a massive following on social media with 2.2. million on Instagram alone and is often seen driving a Bugatti Chiron, flying in private jets, meeting celebrities, and more. In the same podcast episode, Tristan recalled, "I used to collect 20, 30, 40 pieces of chicken that were perfectly fine, left in the buckets. I used to go home, and I used to freeze that chicken. And me and Andrew would break it up, put it in our rice, and that was our meal! That's what sustained us for that hard year. The year when I was 21, and you (Andrew Tate) were 22. That's how broke we were."
