Basic French Episode 8: Ma famille (My family)

Host: Andrew Tate was taken into custody in Romania

Host: Welcome to the latest edition of the Legal Insider podcast. I'm your host, and today we have a shocking story to bring you. Influencer Andrew Tate, a self-confessed misogynist, has been arrested and taken into custody on charges of human trafficking, rape, and organized crime. Joining me to discuss this is our reporter. Can you tell us more about this case?

Reporter: Yes, the suspect and three others were arrested last night in Romania on charges of forming an organized crime group, human trafficking, and rape. Prosecutors say that six women have been identified as having been exploited by the group, which allegedly created pornographic content for paid websites as part of a venture that made them a significant sum of money. The authorities are alleging that this was the purpose of the group and are requesting to extend the suspect's detention period from 24 hours to 30 days.

Host: This is a shocking and disturbing story. What is known about the other suspects arrested with the suspect?

Reporter: The suspect's brother and two Romanian nationals were also taken into custody. It's not clear at this time what their involvement in the alleged crimes is. The suspect is a well-known online personality, with notoriety for his controversial views. He was kicked off Twitter in 2017 for his misogynistic views but was reinstated last month. He has publicly stated that women belong in the home, can´t drive, and are a man’s property. Despite these views, he was one of the most searched-for celebrities on social media in 2022.

Host: And do we know if the suspect has a criminal record?

Reporter: It's not clear at this time if he has committed any offenses previously, but these are certainly serious allegations and the authorities are seeking to extend his detention period. We'll continue to follow this story and bring you updates as more information becomes available.

Host: Thank you for bringing us this astounding
