Romania further extends influencer Andrew Tate detention

Romania further extends influencer Andrew Tate detention

A Romanian court on Wednesday extended the detention of controversial influencer Andrew Tate while he’s being investigated along with his brother for alleged human trafficking and rape.
Tate, 36, and his brother Tristan, 34, were arrested in late December, and their detention has been extended every month since then by Romanian judges.

Under Romania’s legal system, pre-trial detention can be extended to a maximum of 180 days, pending possible indictment.

The Bucharest Tribunal ruled to extend their detention by a further 30 days, a decision which can be appealed.

The latest extension left the brothers “speechless,” their media team said.

“The substantial material damages they have suffered are nothing compared to the moral ones. Their image has been irreparably harmed,” it said.

The brothers continue to deny all charges brought against them.

Tate, a British-American former kickboxer who has millions of online followers, along with his younger brother and two Romanian women, are under
investigation for allegedly “forming an organized criminal group, human trafficking and rape.”

As part of the probe, Romanian police raided several properties connected to the Tate brothers and seized many of their assets, including a collection of luxury cars.

A court document from January said that one woman was “recruited” from the UK after she fell in love with Andrew Tate, who then brought her to Romania “with the goal of sexual exploitation.”

In 2016, Tate appeared on the “Big Brother” reality television show in Britain but was removed after a video emerged showing him attacking a woman.

He then turned to social media platforms to promote his divisive views before being banned for misogynistic remarks and hate speech.

Tate was allowed back on Twitter after the South African billionaire Elon Musk bought the company.
