Speculation circulates that Romanian pizza boxes in a video sent through Tate to Ms. Thunberg possibly helped police locate him.
Limate activist Greta Thunberg has spoken out following the arrest of the personality who divides Andrew Tate amid a Twitter dispute between the two men in recent days.
Former professional kickboxer Tate arrested along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian nationals, suspected of human trafficking, rape and forming an organized criminal group, the government confirmed.
Earlier in the week, the debatable figure, banned from social media platforms for misogynistic comments and hate speech, sparked a war of words with 19-year-old Miss Thunberg.
He shared a photo of himself next to a Bugatti and claimed he owned 33 cars, tagging Ms. Thunberg while tweeting: “Please provide your email address so I can send you a full list of my car collection and their respective mass emissions. “

She jokingly responded, in a post that has since amassed over 3 million likes and has been dubbed through some as “the greatest Tweet of all time”: “Yes, please enlighten me. Write to me at smalldickenergy@getalife. com.
Tate responded to Ms. Thunberg’s viral tweet with a video of him sitting at a table dressed in a bathrobe and smoking a cigarette, in which he says off-camera: “Please bring me pizza and make sure those boxes are not recycled. “
He then handed over two boxes that gave the impression of bearing the logo of the Romanian chain Jerry’s Pizza.
Tate was arrested on Thursday, the night after the video was released, with photographs circulating widely on social media that appeared to show him and his brother being taken from a luxury villa.
Following the announcement of her arrest Friday morning, Thunberg tweeted: “This is what happens when you don’t recycle pizza cartons. “
Since then, the hypothesis has circulated on social media that the pizza boxes featured in Tate’s video helped the government locate and arrest him, but those rumors have been confirmed.
In an encrypted message following his arrest, Tate’s Twitter account posted Friday morning: “The Matrix has its agents.
Tate and the other three arrested will remain in detention for 24 hours, prosecutors from Romania’s organized crime unit said after raiding their homes in Bucharest.
The Tate brothers have been investigated by thieves since April, they said.
“The 4 Array suspects. . . appear to have created an organized criminal organization with the goal of recruiting, harboring and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content intended for viewing on specialized shows for a fee,” prosecutors said. .
Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate escorted through police officers outside the headquarters of the Directorate of Investigations on Organized Crime and Terrorism in Bucharest on December 29.
“They would have made sums of money. “
Prosecutors said they discovered six who said they were sexually exploited through the suspects.
The Tate brothers declined to comment that their lawyer showed they had been detained, Reuters news firm said.
Andrew Tate, who was born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in Luton, has said in the past that women are partly to blame for the attacks and belong to men.
He first gained prominence when he appeared on the Big Brother TV screen in 2016, but said goodbye to the show after a video appeared to show him attacking a woman wearing a belt posted online, a clip he said had been edited.
It then gained notoriety online, and Twitter banned it from the social media platform earlier this year after saying women “take responsibility” for being sexually assaulted.
Tate, along with other banned figures, adding former US President Donald Trump, recently restored their accounts after Elon Musk’s recent takeover of Twitter.
