This is one of the plots where Andrew Tate allegedly held a group of women “like prisoners” and forced them to create pornographic content online, Web can reveal.
Tate’s glamorous girlfriend Georgiana Naghel, 28, lives in the two-bedroom bungalow in Bucharest’s Tuhari district on the northern outskirts of the city, along with her housekeeper and two dogs, a pit bull and a German shepherd.
It was raided last Thursday night by the Romanian Police’s Organized Crime and Terrorism Unit as part of an investigation into human trafficking and rape, and Ms Naghel was taken away in handcuffs.
No women were spotted at the property, which is behind a large brown metal gate, but police sources and neighbors revealed four were released following an earlier raid last April when police began investigating Tate’s alleged activities.

Tate’s glamorous girlfriend Georgiana Naghel, 28, lives in the two-bedroom bungalow in Bucharest’s Tuhari district on the northern outskirts of the city, along with her housekeeper and two dogs, a pit bull and a German shepherd.
While being held in the bungalow, the women were reportedly forced to participate in online chat rooms offering pornographic material to men from around the world willing to pay the right price
While being held in the bungalow, the women were reportedly forced to participate in online chat rooms offering pornographic material to men from around the world willing to pay the right price.
This has become a lucrative industry in Romania, making millions of pounds every year.
Ms Naghel was arrested following a coordinated police operation which also arrested Tate, 36, and his brother Tristan, 34, at their luxury warehouse-style villa, a short drive away.
A fourth woman, former police officer Luana Radu, 32, was arrested at another address in Bucharest.
They are charged with human trafficking, rape and forming an organized crime group and are currently being held in the Bucharest police pre-trial detention center pending further investigation.
A police source told Web: “This property is vital to our investigation. It was searched again last April and last week.
“We can’t give you details about the women who once lived there and where they are now, but it’s one of five properties linked to all suspects.”
Georgiana Naghel (left), 28, is described as a businesswoman and influencer who is believed to have dated Tate for nearly a year prior to her arrest. Luana Radu (right), 32, was previously stationed at a police station in central Bucharest but left the police force eight years ago to pursue a career in video chat rooms
Born in Bucharest and raised in Tuhari district, Ms Naghel is said to have met Tate (pictured together) through friends shortly after he moved to the country five years ago

Residents living on the street where the bungalow is located told Web that it was common knowledge among them that online chat rooms were hosted there and that the women could often be seen naked on the property or on the patio where they were sitting a curved sofa without clothes.
They claimed that of the four women, three were Romanian and one was Czech.
Mihai Costicea, 44, who lives next door, said: “We all knew what happened, it wasn’t a very well kept secret.
“Sometimes I would see some of the women living in the bungalow completely naked and they were not at all embarrassed. There was a lot going on in the house and it was obvious what it was being used for.’
He added: “I only spoke to one of the girls whose name was Bibiana and was from Czechoslovakia. She told me they all did chat rooms but to be honest they all seemed pretty happy and were always popping in and out whenever they wanted.
“We didn’t get the impression that they were being held against their will.”
Land registers show the bungalow was purchased in 2018 by a company called Talisman Enterprises, which was founded and owned by Tate but was later transferred to Ms Naghel.
The modern bungalow, which has an open plan kitchen and patio area overlooking a long garden, was built on land previously owned by Mr Costicea which he sold to a local property developer.
He and other neighbors 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 neighbor, who asked not to be named, said: “Following the raid last April we don’t know what happened to the girls but Georgiana moved into the bungalow full time because she wasn’t always around before.
‘Tate would visit quite a bit. He would arrive in an expensive fancy car and spend 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 wealthy. She talked to me a lot about her dogs, which she really loved.”
She added: “I didn’t speak much to the girls when they were there but they told me they worked in chat rooms. They were all young and beautiful and constantly circling the house, so I was quite surprised to hear they were being held captive.’
A woman posing as a housekeeper was at the property when Web visited.
She said: “I’m sorry I can’t say anything because Georgiana isn’t here and she’s in big trouble. I don’t know any women who used to live here because I’m just the housekeeper doing my job.’
Tate’s initial sentence has been extended from 24 hours to 30 days, but his attorney Eugen Constantin Vidineac plans to appeal the judge’s decision.
He said: “In our view there is no reason … for this most drastic preventive measure.”
