Prosecutors investigating the case seized the additional vehicles in addition to 11 others seized in raids last week, said Ramona Bolla, a spokeswoman for the Romanian anti-organized crime agency DIICOTs.
At least seven of the seized vehicles, some of which local media report are limited editions worth up to $300,000, are registered to Tate and his brother Tristan, who was arrested last week in the same case. said.
Some of the other vehicles are not registered or do not have documentation.
Bolla also said that more than 10 properties or land owned by companies registered in the names of the Tate brothers have been seized in the investigation so far.

Two other female suspects, Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu, were also arrested in Bucharest on December 29 on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organized crime group.
They have denied all the allegations, and Tate’s representative, Avocat Vidineac Eugen Constatin, said they would appeal the judge’s decision.
DIICOTs said in a statement last week that it identified six victims who were subjected to “acts of physical violence and mental coercion” and were sexually exploited by members of the group.
The agency said two British nationals in the case lured victims under the guise of love and then intimidation, constant surveillance and other control tactics to perform pornographic acts with the intention of obtaining “significant financial gain”.
The four suspects are expected to appear in a Bucharest court next week to hear their appeals against a judge’s decision last week to extend their arrest warrants from 24 hours to 30 days, Bolla said.
The Tate brothers will also appear in court next week to appeal the seizure of some of their belongings.
