Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate will be detained in Romania for a further 30 days after losing an appeal at a Romanian court.
The former professional kickboxer was initially detained by police on suspicion of organised crime and human trafficking. He appeared in a Bucharest court earlier today to appeal against a judge’s January 20, decision to extend his arrest a second time for 30 days, according to Ramona Bolla, a spokeswoman for Romania’s anti-organised crime agency DIICOT.
The 36-year-old, who has nearly five million followers on Twitter appeared in the court on Wednesday morning handcuffed to his brother Tristan who is held in the same case alongside two Romanian women. In a document seen by the Associated Press, the judge took into account when deciding on January 20 to extend their detention the "particular dangerousness of the defendant".
