The notorious social media influencer, who was arrested in Romania as part of a rape and human trafficking probe last month, was accused of violently abusing two women who yesterday came forward with their claims 

The four suspects were initially held on suspicion of rape, human trafficking, and organized crime offences for 24 hours following raids on his villa and other properties. 

Tate, his brother Tristan, and the other suspects are all set to be held for 30 days while Romanian police continue their probe. 

At the time of the alleged crimes, Tate was released under investigation and appeared as a contestant in the Big Brother house in 2016.  

Tate was eventually booted off the Channel 5 reality show, with reports linking his ousting with a video shared online appearing to show the influencer slapping an ex-girlfriend and hitting her with a belt.

However, it has since been claimed that the real reason behind Tate's ejection was the fact the police's sexual abuse investigation came to light. 

Producers were aware of the police investigation at the time of Tate entering as a contestant, telling Vice he was 'closely monitored at all times' before being ejected five days later on June 13, 2016. 

But it was reported last night that there were delays made by Hertfordshire Police in handing the case over to the Crown Prosecution Service. The accusers also claim Herts Police 'mishandled' their case.

In a statement, a Hertfordshire Police spokesperson told Vice: 'We acknowledge that there were some delays to the investigation. This was addressed at the time and apologies were made.

Tate, a former pro kickboxer, first came to prominence when he appeared on the reality show Big Brother in 2016, but was ejected from the show after a video surfaced online which appeared to show him striking a woman with a belt - a clip he claimed had been edited. 

Tate's home in the Eastern European nation was also raided on April 11 this year as part of a human trafficking investigation. 

Following the April raid, which was reportedly prompted by a complaint from a US citizen to the American Embassy in Bucharest, the Tate brothers were detained for thedailysextv.com several hours for questioning but ultimately released as the investigation continued. 

Andrew Tate has previously boasted to his followers that '40 percent' of the reason  was because the police were less likely to pursue any sexual assault allegations against him. 

Together with his brother Tristan, he allegedly set up a webcam business in Romania in which young models told sob stories to unsuspecting male viewers.

Despite previously saying that the site was 'a total scam', Tate claims to have made millions from it.
