Andrew Tate's Twitter account shares questionable claim he was 'attacked' after reports he went to the hospital after a jail check-up

• Andrew Tate's Twitter account shared a story about him or his brother being hospitalized.

• "The Matrix has attacked me," the tweet reads, perpetuating conspiracies around Tate's arrest.

• Tate and his brother were arrested in December as part of a human trafficking investigation.

Andrew Tate's Twitter account shared an article suggesting he or his brother were taken to the hospital on Sunday while in Romanian jail.

It wasn't clear who made the post, since Tate is incarcerated. Though the account suggested Tate had been "attacked," Romanian media suggested a more mundane reality.

Tate's post linked to news from the Romanian outlet Spy News which stated one of the brothers had been sent to the hospital following a routine health checkup in prison. It did not specify whether it was Andrew or his brother Tristan.

Spy News in turn cited a report from Romanian CNN affiliate Antena 3, where journalist Carmina Pricopie is quoted describing the brother getting referred to a hospital expert after his medical exam.

"The Matrix has attacked me," the account tweeted. "But they misunderstand, you cannot kill an idea. Hard to Kill."

The Romanian reporting did not contain anything supporting the claim that someone tried to injure Tate.

Tate's account has repeatedly referred to the "Matrix" movies while posting vague assertions that the investigation is a conspiracy against him.

Tate has not directly responded to the human trafficking allegations. His lawyer alleged to Romanian news outlet Gândul that there was no evidence other than victims' statements, but stopped short of saying Tate was innocent.

The brothers were arrested as part of a human-trafficking investigation on December 29, 2022, alongside two women also accused of taking part.

The group is accused exploiting women to produce porn for their online business, according to a statement seen by Insider, which says Tate used the "loverboy method" to recruit women.

Tate and the others were initially held for 24 hours, which a Romania court extended to 30 days. Authorities have seized several of Tate and his brother's cars and properties while the investigation is ongoing.
