The judiciary of romania has ordered this Friday, after several hours of hearings and deliberations, that the former boxer and ‘streamer’ Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan remain in preventive prison for a period of 30 days.
This decision, approved by a court in the capital, Bucharest, may however be appealed by Andrew and Tristan Tate, who now have a period of 48 hours to present their claim, according to the Romanian newspaper ‘Libertatea’.
romanian police arrested the Tate brothers during the early hours of Thursday to Friday as part of an investigation for their alleged involvement in an organization dedicated to human trafficking and rape.
The Romanian Prosecutor’s Office accuses both brothers of having constituted an organized criminal group that recruited, housed, and coerced women into creating pornographic materials for further distribution, as reported by Romania TV.
With these activities, Andrew and Tristan would have obtained large sums of money with which they would have bought houses, luxury cars and would have also invested in cryptocurrencies.
The arrest took place after the former boxer published a video on social networks and in which he responded to a mockery of the young environmentalist Greta Thunberg, all while eating pizza from a popular Romanian pizza chain.
The appearance of the pizza box in the video made it clear that Tate was on Romanian territorywhich allowed the authorities of the European country to speed up the case and finally break into the place where the well-known ‘streamer’, with an ultra-conservative ideology and skeptic of climate change, was staying.
