Mr. Tate and his brother, Tristan, were arrested on charges made between 2012 and 2015, which include allegations of sexual aggression, his spokesman said.
Andrew Tate, the wealth-flaunting online influencer known for his misogynistic views, and his brother, Tristan, were taken into custody Monday night in Romania on a European arrest warrant issued by the British authorities, a spokesman for Mr. Tate said.
The charges related to the arrest were made between 2012 and 2015 and include allegations of sexual aggression, the spokesman said. He added that the charges had been dismissed by the Crown Prosecution Service years later.
The local police in Romania said in a brief statement that the arrest warrants were for sexual crimes and the exploitation of individuals in Britain. The men were ordered detained for 24 hours, it said.
It is unclear which British force issued the warrant.
The Bucharest Court of Appeal in Romania was expected to make a decision Tuesday afternoon on whether to extradite the Tate brothers to Britain, Mr. Tate’s spokesman said.
The spokesman said the brothers “categorically reject all charges and express profound disappointment that such serious allegations are being resurrected without substantial new evidence.”
