Andrew Tate news – live: Influencer and brother Tristan have detention extended by Romanian court
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have had their detentions in Romania extended for a second time.
The siblings are to be held in custody until 27 February following a court ruling on Friday.
The 36 year-old influencer was initially detained on 29 December in Bucharest, Romania’s capital, on charges of being part of an organized crime group, human trafficking and rape. His brother and two Romanian women are also detained in the same case.
Detectives investigating Tate have seized £3.2m worth of assets from his home in Bucharest, including luxury vehicles, watches and cash acquired in a raid on his compound. On Saturday, a Rolls-Royce, BMW and Mercedes-Benz were seen being removed from Mr Tate’s property.
Prosecutors earlier said they had seized more than 10 homes and properties belonging to the suspects.
A British-US citizen, Tate has 4.7 million followers on Twitter. The former kickboxer and social media influencer, has gained notoriety over the years for peddling misogynistic views.
Both men deny the allegations against them.
