Andrew Tate’s appeal to a court for a 30-day extension in his Romanian detention has been denied. This means that the controversial social media influencer will continue in prison.

Tate was a British-US citizen who appealed in Bucharest against the decision of a judge to place him in a Romanian jail for another 30 days.

His appeal was rejected and he will be held in detention until at most 29 March.

Tate’s fourth request for release from custody has been denied since December 2012, when he was arrested.

A post on Tate’s twitter account before the court’s latest decision read: “If your goal is a life that people want, you must be ready to defend it.”

Tate’s spokesperson stated that Tate was disappointed with the outcome, as he had high hopes for Andrew to be reunited with his family. His legal team will appeal this decision within 48 hours.

Tristan, a former professional kickboxer of 36 years, and the ex-professional kickboxer are under investigation for sexual assault and exploitation.

They are being held on suspicion of human trafficking and organised crime.

They were both taken into custody on 29/12/2013 and neither has been charged.

Two Romanian women, who were also detained with the brothers, have not been charged.

Initial detention of the Tate brothers was for 24 hours. Then, it was extended to 30 days. In January, another 30 days were added, and was again last month.

January court documents explaining an earlier arrest extended noted that “the possibility of their evading investigation cannot be ignored” and suggested they could “leave Romania to settle in countries which do not allow extradition”.

Ramona Bolla is a spokesperson for Romania’s anti-organised crime agency DIICOT. She confirmed Tate’s latest bail request was denied at a hearing at Bucharest Tribunal today.

Tate’s legal team isn’t clear on the bail conditions they proposed.

It is very rare that defendants in Romania under preventative arrest for serious offenses request bail.

Romanian authorities claimed they had seize goods and money in excess of PS3.25 million from Tate’s villa. This included luxury cars.

He claimed repeatedly that Romanian prosecutors had no evidence, and that their case was a “political conspiracy” to silence him.

According to the agency, victims were lured by pretences of love. They were then placed under surveillance and forced into pornographic acts in return for financial gain.
