Cops will impound Andrew Tate’s £4.8million Bugatti stored in Dubai

Romanian authorities will seize and sell Andrew Tate’s £4.8m Bugatti if convicted, it is claimed.

The self-proclaimed misogynist’s luxury sports car, which he stores in Dubai, will reportedly be seized by police following his arrest on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and racketeering.

Authorities last month seized several luxury cars from the Tate compound on the outskirts of Bucharest, the Romanian capital.

But now, Romanian officials are turning their attention to other countries where the former kickboxer and YouTube personality has significant assets.

The £4.8m Bugatti is believed to be the car Tate posted online in an attempt to poke fun at Greta Thunberg, before the climate activist savagely criticized it for its “little power”.

Former kickboxer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan arrive at the court for his failed appeal in Bucharest, Romania on February 1, 2023.

romanian publication Slacker reported that a representative of the country’s Impaired Assets Administration sent a request to Dubai officials in the United Arab Emirates to seize the sports car and transfer it to Romania.

Romanian officials are also looking at other countries where Tate and his brother Tristan have or store assets. Slacker reported that this includes the UK, US and Ireland.

Following Dubai’s approval, the car will reportedly be transported to Romania, where it will remain in a warehouse until it is released or loaded. Police have already seized a fleet of cars belonging to the Tate brothers, their property and a collection of luxury watches.

Last Within a month, vehicles, including a Rolls-Royce, a BMW and a Mercedes-Benz, were seen being stolen from the Tates complex near the capital for transport to a storage facility.

The Tate’s collection of Romanian cars was estimated to be worth around £6 million.

The cars included a McLaren 765LT worth up to £410,000 and a blue Rolls-Royce Wraith, believed to have cost around £310,000.

If it is collected, it is stated that the Romanian court will determine the damages or financial charges incurred by Andrew and Tristan Tate which will then be taken from their accounts.

Slacker reported that his assets, including £4.8 million from Bugatti and his collection of cars, will be sold by the authorities to recover the full amount.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg takes part in a protest on the last day of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on January 20, 2023.

The Bugatti is believed to be the same car with which Tate tried to troll climate activist Thunberg.

On Twitter in December, days before his arrest, Tate shared a photo of himself filling up his Bugatti supercar at a gas station and asking Thunberg to send him an email address so he could detail the “huge emissions” from her high-speed cars. Gas-guzzling performance. threw up

‘Hello Greta Thunberg. I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad-turbo. My TWO competitive Ferrari 812s have 6.5L v12s. This is just the beginning. Please provide your email address so I can send you a complete list of my car collection and its huge emissions,” the social media star boasted.

Thunberg delivered a brutal closing in a tweet to her 5.8 million followers, saying: ‘Yes please enlighten me. email me at smalld**kenergy@getalife.com.’

The 20-year-old’s witty response set off a social media storm, going viral with more than 300 million views and nearly four million likes, far more than Tate’s initial tweet.
