Tate, who was banned from Twitter in 2017 but reinstated last month, sparked the row with Thunberg when he shared a picture of himself standing next to a gas-guzzling Bugatti. A lawyer for the brothers confirmed their detention, Reuters has said. His younger brother Tristan, 34, was also arrested, with both men being held for 24 hours in Bucharest.
