A group of youth in Athens protested for social media influencer Andrew Tate, who was influencer arrested in Romania on charges of sex trafficking, rape, and organised crime.
Holding signs reading “free TopG” (Tate’s nickname) dozens of young people gathered in downtown Athens to express support for the controversial figure.
In videos posted on social media, the young people can be seen passing through Syntagma Square and then going down Ermou Street shouting this slogan.

Police in tactical gear descended on a villa Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan was staying to detain the British brothers on kidnapping and rape charges, judicial sources told Romanian outlet Libertatea.
The brothers had allegedly detained two young women — one with American citizenship and one Romanian — inside the villa against their will in April, where they were subjected to “physical violence and mental coercion”.
