Tate, who has lived in Romania since 2017, was previously banned from various social media platforms for expressing misogynistic views and hate speech
BUCHAREST, Romania --
Ramona Bolla, spokesperson for the agency, DIICOT, said searches are taking place in the counties of Bucharest, Ilfov, and Prahova "in order to obtain further evidence." Bolla said that the court "decided that the seizures are legal and the goods remain at our disposal." If they can prove the Tates made money through human trafficking, the assets could be used to cover the expenses of the investigation and compensation for victims, she said.
The agency said victims were lured by pretenses of love, and later intimidated, kept under surveillance and subjected to other control tactics while being coerced into performing in pornography that was intended to make money for their alleged persecutors.
