A lawyer for the Tate brothers confirmed that they had been detained.
“The four suspects… appear to have created an organized crime group for the purpose of recruiting, harboring and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content intended for viewing on specialized websites for a fee,” prosecutors said.
“They would have earned significant sums of money.”
Prosecutors said they had found six women who had been sexually exploited by the suspects.
Tate has said that women are partly responsible for being raped and that it belongs to men.
