Andrew Tate to remain behind bars another 30 days as Romanian court extends detention

Accused sex-trafficking rapist Andrew Tate will remain behind bars in Romania for another 30 days, a court decided on Tuesday, extending his detention for a third time.

The self-proclaimed misogynist and his brother, rumored girlfriend and an ex-cop have been held on suspicion of organized crime and human trafficking ever since an early morning raid of Tate’s Bucharest home on Dec. 29.

Both Tate, 36, and his 34-year-old brother Tristan, have denied any wrongdoing. The two women involved will be put under house arrest, according to Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT.

In addition to their detentions being extended three times thus far, the Tates lost a bid to be freed from behind bars earlier this month.

Lawyers for the Tate brothers told reporters Tuesday after the extension application was filed that there was no new evidence presented at the hearing.

The second time they were ordered to remain behind bars a judge noted it was because of the “particular dangerousness of the defendants.”

Romanian prosecutors have accused the brothers of running a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. They say that the pair would seduce women by pretending they wanted to pursue a relationship. They would then force the women to produce pornographic content, which they would boast about on social media.

The US-born former kickboxer also unsuccessfully tried to get back assets worth an estimated $3.9 million that were seized by authorities from his compound, including luxury cars like a blue Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari and a Porsche.

Over the weekend it was reported that the incendiary influencer has threatened legal action against one woman who accused him of rape and human trafficking.

A US law firm representing both Tate and his brother sent a “cease and desist” letter in December to the unnamed woman’s lawyer, which included a threat to sue for $300 million if she didn’t drop her accusations.

The woman’s lawyer, Benjamin Bull, said that the letter was intended to silence her.

“[It] was intended to shut down the witness; stop the witness from bringing testimony forward in any proceedings,” he said.

Lawyers for the Tates denied that the letter was sent to intimidate, and said it was delivered as a civil matter for defamation and slander in the US.

The testimony of six women accusing the brothers of rape and human trafficking will likely play a role in the investigation. No charges have been brought against any of the accused.
