Andrew Tate's 'angel' ex-cop turned OnlyFans model Luana Radu 'tried to dig up dirt on cops probing disgraced brothers' | The Sun
ANDREW Tate's OnlyFans model "angel" Luanu Radu is being investigated for allegedly trying to dig up dirt on police probing the case.
Radu, 32, a former cop, ditched the force for a career in online modelling and cam girl work before falling in with Tate and his brother Tristan.
She is believed to have been a key part in Tate's operation in Romania alongside his other "angel" – and girlfriend – Georgiana Naghel.
Radu is a former inspector in the Romanian police force.
And she is now being investigated for using her connections to get secret police info on the case and the officers.
The Tate brothers remain detained in Romania alongside Radu and Naghel.

The four are being probed by Romania's organised crime-busting force, DIICOT.
"Luana Radu could have not accessed the police database without the help of a person from the Internal Affairs Ministry," a judicial source told The Sun.
Radu is accused of illegally accessing a Romanian Internal Affairs ministry database to gain information on police and prosecutors.
She is claimed to have done this multiple times between April and December 2022.
This time period is between the first raid on the Tates and when they were arrested – after which they have been detained ever since.
Her first access of the database is alleged to have happened just days after the initial search of the Tate's compound and studio in Bucharest on April 11, 2022.
Prosecutors made the discovery while gathering information from a laptop used by Radu.
She is alleged to have been looking for info – and possible dirt – on the officers investigating the Tates.
Radu graduated from Bucharest Police Academy in 2013 – working as a police officer for the force's Section 7.
But she left the police in 2014 to pursue a career in online modelling and cam work.
She performed under the name Ellie Dely – and often exploited her past as a cop, wearing racy police uniforms to titillate her fans.
Investigators believe she was recruited by the Tates to work with them as she was "very smart".
As well as being a model on OnlyFans, she was also the Tate's official "administrative assistant", cops told The Sun Online.
Radu's account on OnlyFans has since been shut down.
It is has been claimed previously both Radu and Naghel were key in managing the models who worked for Tate.
The duo would allegedly take half of their revenue and tightly control the content the women posted online.
The models would be fined for infractions such as "sniffling" on camera, said prosecutors.
Naghel and Radu would allegedly threaten violence if the women did not work.
They are also alleged to have pressured the women to undergo breast augmentation to make them "more attractive".
The Tates and the "angels" remain detained amid allegations of human trafficking, organised crime and rape.
Romanian prosecutors were again granted a further 30 day extension as the probe continues.
Radu and Naghel had been set to be released into house arrest – but prosecutors successfully appealed that decision.
Andrew and Tristan can held for up to 180 days should another detention extension be granted by the courts.
It means they could be detained pending investigation until June 27.
The specific allegations relate to six women – but two of them have denied being victims.
The Tates are alleged to have lured women in Romania under the pretence of a romantic relationship – only to them coerce them into their webcam business.
Tate has always insisted the case is part of a conspiracy against him that he often refers to as "The Matrix".
Misogynist influencer Tate built up a sickening image that appealed to teenage boys – creating an online empire that made him one of the most searched people on Google.
Masquerading as lifestyle advice, much of the content is actually highly sexist and promotes violence against women.
His influence has had a worrying spread amongst young men and boys, with one UK MP saying he is "brainwashing" children.
Tate initially gained fame after a short-lived appearance on Big Brother.
He was dumped from the reality show after alleged footage of him beating a woman emerged online.
Since then he has sparked revulsion and outrage with a wave of warped content online.
Washington DC-born Tate was banned from Twitter in 2017 for violating its terms of service with his controversial comments.

Romanian authorities have also launched an internal investigation as it is believe complaints against the Tates filed in 2021 and 2022 but were not pursued.
