- Pictures reveal two-bed bungalow where Andrew Tate allegedly held ‘prisoners’
- The influencer was pictured behind bars after his arrest on Thursday evening
- He was seen alongside ‘angels’ Luana Radu and Georgiana Naghel in police van
- They were arrested along with Tristan Tate as part of a sex crimes probe
This is one of the properties where Andrew Tate allegedly held a group of women ‘like prisoners’ and forced them to create online pornographic content, MailOnline can reveal.
The two-bedroom bungalow, located in Bucharest’s Tuhari district, on the northern outskirts of the city is where Tate’s glamorous girlfriend Georgiana Naghel, 28, lives along with her housekeeper and two dogs, a pit bull and an Alsatian.
It was raided last Thursday night by Romanian Police’s Organised Crime and Terrorism unit as part of a human trafficking and rape investigation with Ms Naghel led away in handcuffs.
No women were discovered at the property, which is behind a large brown metal gate, but police sources and neighbours revealed that four were released following a previous raid last April, when police started investigating Tate’s alleged activities.

While being held at the bungalow the women were reportedly made to participate in online chat rooms, where pornographic material is offered to men from all over the world who are willing to pay the right price
While being held at the bungalow the women were reportedly made to participate in online chat rooms, where pornographic material is offered to men from all over the world who are willing to pay the right price.
This has become a lucrative industry in Romania generating millions of pounds each year.
Ms Naghel was detained following a co-ordinated police operation that also saw Tate, 36 and his brother Tristan, 34 arrested at their luxury warehouse-style mansion which is just a short drive away.
A fourth woman, former police officer Luana Radu, 32 was arrested at another address in Bucharest.
They are facing charges of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group and are currently being held in Bucharest Police Detention Centre pending further investigation.
A police source told MailOnline: ‘This property is crucial to our investigation. It was raided last April and again last week.
‘We cannot give you any details about the women who once lived there and where they are now, but it is one of five properties linked to all the suspects.’
Georgiana Naghel (left), 28, is described as a businesswoman and influencer who is believed to have been dating Tate for almost a year before her arrest. Luana Radu (right), 32, was previously based at a police station in central Bucharest but quit the force eight years ago to pursue a career working in video chat rooms
Ms Naghel was born in Bucharest and raised in the Tuhari district and is believed to have met Tate (pictured together) through friends soon after he moved to the country five years ago

Residents of the street where the bungalow is located told MailOnline that it was common knowledge amongst them that it was being used to host online chat rooms and that the women could often be seen naked inside the property or on its patio area, where they sat on a curved sofa without clothes.
They claimed that of the four women three were Romanian and one Czech.
Mihai Costicea, 44 who lives immediately next door said: ‘We all knew what was happening, it was not a very well-kept secret.
‘There were times when I would see some of the women living inside the bungalow completely naked and they didn’t feel embarrassed about it at all. There were all kinds of things going on inside the house and it was obvious what it was being used for.’
He added: ‘I only spoke with one of the girls, whose name was Bibiana and was from Czechoslovakia. She told me that they were all doing chat rooms but to be honest, they all seemed quite happy and were always going in and out of the house whenever they liked.
‘We didn’t get the impression that they were being held against their will.’
Land records show that the bungalow was purchased in 2018 by a company called Talisman Enterprises which was founded and owned by Tate but later transferred to Ms Naghel.
The modern bungalow, which has an open plan kitchen and patio area which overlooks a long garden, was constructed on a plot of land previously owned by Mr Costicea, which he sold to a local property developer.
He and other neighbours revealed that Tate was regularly seen visiting the property and that this increased after last April when the women were no longer there following the police raid.
Another neighbour who did not want to be named said: ‘After last April’s raid, we don’t know what happened to the girls, but Georgiana moved into the bungalow full time because before that she was not always there.
‘Tate would visit quite a lot. He’d arrive in an expensive fancy car and spent a lot of time here. I didn’t know what he and Georgiana did for a living, but it was clear that they were very rich. She would speak to me a lot about her dogs, who she really loved.’
She added: ‘I didn’t speak much to the girls when they were there, but they told me that they were working in chat rooms. They were all young and beautiful and were always going in and out of the house, so I was quite surprised to hear that they were being kept prisoner.’
A woman claiming to be a housekeeper was at the property when MailOnline visited.
She said: ‘I’m sorry I can’t say anything because Georgiana is not here and is in a lot of trouble. I don’t know about any women that previously lived here because I’m just the housekeeper doing my job.’
Tate’s initial period in custody was extended from 24 hours to 30 days, but his lawyer Eugen Constantin Vidineac plans to appeal this decision by the judge.
He said: ‘From our perspective, there are no grounds… for taking this most drastic preventive measure.’
