    Former kickboxer Andrew Tate to remain in custody, pending probe

    A Romanian court has ordered that divisive internet personality Andrew Tate, his brother and two other suspects remain in Romanian police custody for a full 30 days, pending a criminal inquiry into alleged human trafficking.
    Key points:

    • Andrew Tate is facing charges of forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit six women
    • The first court to issue the arrest warrant cited the risk that the suspects could flee Romania
    • Prosecutors have seized 15 luxury vehicles and more than 10 properties and homes



    Mr Tate, his brother, Tristan, and two Romanian female suspects were detained by Romanian anti-organised crime prosecutors on December 29 on charges of forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit six women.
    They have denied wrongdoing through their attorneys and challenged the 30-day arrest warrant.
    On Tuesday, the Bucharest court of appeals said it rejected the challenge as "unfounded".
    "Prosecutors' arguments were that they have evidence. Naturally, our arguments were that there isn't evidence," Ioan Gliga, one of the defence lawyers, told reporters.
    The first court to issue the arrest warrant cited the risk that the suspects could evade justice by leaving Romania for countries with which Bucharest has no extradition treaty.
    Prosecutors have said the Tate brothers recruited their victims by seducing them and falsely claiming to want a relationship.
    The victims were then taken to properties on the outskirts of the capital, Bucharest, and — through physical violence and mental intimidation — were sexually exploited by being forced to produce pornographic content for social media sites that generated large financial gains, prosecutors said.
    They also said one of the brothers had raped one of the victims in March of last year, which is when the investigation started.
    Romania's DIICOT anti-organised crime unit spokesperson Ramona Bolla said prosecutors have seized 15 luxury vehicles and more than 10 properties and homes belonging to the suspects, in Bucharest and Prahova and Brasov counties.
    The seizure was meant to prevent the assets being sold or concealed.
    Should prosecutors need more time to investigate, they can seek approval for further extensions of up to 180 days of detention under Romanian law.
    Andrew Tate banned from Instagram and Facebook

    Former kickboxer Andrew Tate is banned for violating Meta's policies on "dangerous organisations and individuals".

    Mr Tate gained mainstream notoriety for misogynistic remarks and hate speech that saw him banned from all major social media platforms, although his Twitter account was reinstated in November after Elon Musk acquired the social media giant.
    The former professional kickboxer — who holds US and British nationality — has said women are partially responsible for being raped and that they belong to men.
    He is a self-professed misogynist.
    On a podcast last year, Tate said he started making money by convincing multiple girlfriends to video chat and share the profits back when he lived in London.
    "How can I use these women to make me money?" Mr Tate asked, adding his business started with two girlfriends and peaked with 75 women working for him and earning $600,000 a month.
    He has also said he moved to Romania after being investigated in the United Kingdom on charges of sexual assault, which were ultimately dropped, because he liked living in countries where corruption was accessible to everybody.

    If he really considered how corrupt a country is, I hope he researched, if convicted in Romania, whether the state can confiscate all assets

    There are vindictive women out there. A friend of mine who works in the adult industry has had two rape complaints against him within the last year. Fortunately, he's cautious. He's secretly audio taping the girls the entire time he's with them. He just gives the tape to the cops and it's all over rover. The tape will record an argument about money and the girl departing without being raped. I wish the cops would charge the girls with making a false complaint and that they'd get a year or so in the slammer. I expect my friend will be subjected to a couple more complaints this year.

    Tate will have learned to have systems in place to protect himself but they might not be perfect. There's also a lot of paperwork with porn. Platforms such as Pornhub are constantly being asked to remove material and the platforms request the paperwork from the content creators. Tate will have all this paperwork. It seems Tate has had dozens of girls working without incident for him but some have made criminal complaints.

    It's a very interesting case. Porn is a huge industry in Romania (and Colombia). Quite a few of the girls on the webcam sites are based in Romania and Colombia. I assume the webcam industry which Tate operates in is greenlighted by the Romanian government.

    P.S. My friend has tried doing work in Thailand but he said Thai girls are understandably very cautious about sexual activity being loaded up on to the internet. He says he won't try Thailand again. He said Colombia was awesome. The girls were very willing. He says one great source besides bars for girls is sugar baby websites. Not too surprising I suppose.

    Romanian authorities have launched fresh raids in the investigation against Andrew Tate as seven homes are searched.

    DIICOT, the prosecutors overseeing the case announced that seven homes were searched on Thursday morning in
    Bucharest, Ilfov counties and Prahova.


    It comes after Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romanian anti-organised crime agency DIICOT, said the court late on Tuesday rejected an appeal by Mr Tate against a judge’s earlier decision to extend his arrest from 24 hours to 30 days.

    Prosecutors can now seek to extend the detention period for the 36-year-old former kickboxer and controversial influencer to 180 days.

    I seem to be behind the curve, I usually am. It seems this plonker Tate, about whom I know nothing, is such a big deal with young people that British schools are having to spend time dealing with it.
    Reading, writing, 'rithmetic - yes a bit.
    How you should manage some knob jockey's arrest - lots of lesson time.
    Young people are so morally confused that they cannot manage to think it through for themselves? There is more on the webpage if you have the patience to read it.

    Andrew Tate: How schools are tackling his influence

    Intelligent, articulate and disciplined - that's how secondary school teacher Charlotte Carson describes Andrew Tate, the online influencer who is a role model to many of the boys at her school in Belfast.

    But the problem is, she says, Andrew Tate is also pathetic, insecure, and promotes "Taliban beliefs" about how to treat women.

    Schools across the UK are encountering increasing numbers of pupils who admire Tate - and so teachers are having to work out how to respond.

    Some are actively putting out guidance on how to talk about him, as part of a concerted attempt to tackle his influence.

    Andrew Tate has complained about his prison cell being infested with lice.

    "It no fun having to share a cell with such vile parasites" said the lice.

    I wonder what kind of probe the Romanian police use. That could be uncomfortable.

    Wishing you were more like him will end in disappointment for you. He is a controversial influencer. You are neither.
