Andrew Tate‘s multi-million-pound supercar collection has reportedly now been seized by authorities in Romania following his arrest.
Yes that’s right.
The very same collection of cars that caused the whole Andrew Tate vs Greta Thunberg saga at the end of 2022, which, if you’ve somehow already forgotten, saw the 36-year-old former professional kickboxer turned controversial media personality – and self-professed misogynist – bizarrely, and rather unnecessarily, pick a back-and-forth Twitter fight with the 19-year-old Swedish environmental activist, has now been seized.
The 11-piece seized car collection is believed to be worth over five million euros in total.

It’s apparently not just cars that authorities have seized from Tate either, as a number of buildings – including one where he lived and allegedly held six young women – have also been taken, according to the local news report.
The seizing of the car 11-piece collection comes after Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in Romania on 30 December 2022 on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organised crime group.

The brothers are currently being detained for 30 days by Romanian authorities, alongside two other Romanian suspects, following their arrest.
Prosecutors in the country said Tate and the other three suspects “appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost”.
Prior to his arrest, Tate – who grabbed headlines several times last year due to his misogynistic comments, which have previously seen banned from Twitter, Instagram, and most notably TikTok – took to Twitter to direct a message at Thunberg gloating that he currently has 33 cars with “enormous emissions” and that “this is just the start” of his growing collection.

Thunberg’s unimpressed viral tweet reply calling out Tate’s “small d**k energy” has since become one of the top 10 most-liked tweets of all time, and prompted Tate to hit to Thunberg with a bizarre response video.

It’s been widely reported that the pizza boxes which featured in the video alerted officials to Tate’s whereabouts and lead to his subsequent arrest – although this has not been confirmed.
Drinks prices revealed as Manchester Airport’s first-ever Wetherspoons pub opens inside T2
Emily Sergeant
It’s official… Manchester Airport’s first-ever JD Wetherspoon pub has officially opened its doors inside Terminal 2.
The 300-seater pub – which welcomed its first customers earlier this week – is named The Belle Vue after Manchester’s historic showground.
Throughout the pub, you’ll spot design features that nod to the city’s sporting heritage – including vintage event posters and memorabilia, a ‘locker wall’ hosting trophies and other sporting exhibits, and a cricket-themed design in the carpets and bar panels.
Creating around 150 jobs in the process, The Belle Vue is the final planned new eatery to open in the airport’s redeveloped Terminal 2, marking one of the final steps in the super-terminal’s decade-long, £1.5bn transformation.

According to the MEN, pints are priced from £6.20 for Carling and Coors lager, £6.45 for Budweiser, £6.60 for Guinness, and £6.70 for Poretti and 1664 Biere.
Prosecco is £9.20 for 175ml glass and £37.10 for the full bottle, while spirts and mixers are £6.80 for singles and £10.20 for doubles.
There’s also the classic Wetherspoons tea and coffee machines, where you can refill as many times as you like for just £3.60.
“It’s a proud moment to see the final new retail unit opening in our new-look Terminal 2,” commented Richard Jackson, who is the Retail Director at Manchester Airport.
“To be rounding off this 10-year programme by adding such an iconic name as Wetherspoon to the terminal is particularly special and we know that it will prove extremely popular with passengers. We think they’ll love the nods to Manchester’s heritage in the décor and design – and of course the name.”
The Belle Vue will be open from the first flight to the final flight each day, and food will be served from opening until 10pm.

Iconic Manc movie 24 Hour Party People is set to return to cinemas for its anniversary
Emily Sergeant
One of Manchester’s most iconic movies is set to return to the big screen next month.
Remastered in 4K and returning to UK cinemas to mark 24 years since its original release, Michael Winterbottom’s 2002 biographical comedy drama film, 24 Hour Party People, tells the story of Manchester‘s popular music community from 1976 to 1992 – specifically about Factory Records‘ founder Tony Wilson.
The film begins with the punk rock era of the late 1970s, before moving through the 1980s into the rave and DJ culture, and of course, the ‘Madchester‘ scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The narrative largely follows the career of Tony Wilson, played by Middleton-born actor Steve Coogan, while also covering the careers of the major Factory Records artists – especially Joy Division and New Order, as well as A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column, and Happy Mondays.
If you haven’t seen 24 Hour Party People before, it’s a dramatisation based on a combination of real events, rumours, and urban legends, as the film is sure to make clear.
Coogan is joined by a cast by a mixture of big names and, at the time, rising stars like Paddy Considine, Shirley Henderson, Lennie James, John Simm, Ralf Little, Andy Serkis, Sean Harris, John Thomson, and even Peter Kay, alongside cameos from other figures connected to the Manchester music scene.
Before it returns to cinemas, the film will first open music and media festival/conference, Beyond The Music, at MediaCity in Salford on 6 October.
The screening at the festival will also be followed by a Q&A with Coogan, Winterbottom, and producer Andrew Eaton.
24 Hour Party People will then be re-released in UK cinemas from 9 October, and you can check your local cinema for screening times and book tickets online now.
