Tate who was detained alongside his brother Tristan last month is being accused of human trafficking and rape, which they deny.

The seized cars, including a Rolls-Royce, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz were removed from the property on Saturday, Reuters reported.

On Tuesday, Tate lost a bid to end his detention in Romania after a court rejected his appeal and said he should remain in custody.

After his arrest on 29 December, police said they had identified six people who were allegedly “sexually exploited” by what it called an “organised criminal group”.

Police alleged the victims were “recruited” by the British citizens, who they said misrepresented their intention to enter into a relationship with the victims – which they called “the loverboy method”.

They were later forced to perform in pornographic content under threat of violence, a statement alleged.
