Fri 23 June 2023:
Social media influencer Andrew Tate has been ordered to remain under house arrest in Romania for another 30 days after being charged with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, a Bucharest court ruled today.
Andrew, 36, and his brother Tristan Tate, 34, who are both dual UK-US nationals, have been at the centre of a lengthy investigation following claims they exploited women for profit.
ANDREW TATE AND HIS BROTHER INDICTED ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND RAPE CHARGES IN ROMANIA
Earlier this week both men appeared before a judge in the Romanian capital Bucharest where they live, and as he entered court Andrew told media that he ‘believed in God and justice’.
Both deny the charges against them with Andrew, who grew up in Luton, Bedfordshire, insisting the charges are ‘trumped up and part of a conspiracy by the Matrix to target rich, influential men’.
Two women – Luana Radu and Georgiana Nagel – have also been jointly charged with the Tate brothers and they appeared in court alongside them on Wednesday for the 90-minute hearing.
In their ruling the court said:’ All four defendants will remain under house arrest until further checks but for no longer than 30 days.’
Andrew took on Twitter to express his exasperation against the ongoing case. He tweeted, “Imagine that I was held until the absolute limit of jail conditions without charge, down to the last few hours. If they had a case, why wait so long? Then charged last second with who knows what – and all of the arrest conditions extended indefinitely. Forever jail.”
