Andrew Tate, the controversial former kickboxer turned social media influencer, and his brother Tristan have lost their appeal and will remain in detention in Romania on allegations of human trafficking and rape

The brothers will stay in Bucharest Police’s custody until February 27, according to Antena 3. The judgment of the court is final.

On December 30, Romanian police searched five homes and detained the brothers and two more suspects.

They assert that the suspects created an organized criminal gang for the purpose of people trafficking that extended from Romania to Britain and the United States.

The authorities assert that two of the accused transported victims to Romania while deceiving them “into believing that they wanted to enter into a marriage/cohabitation relationship” before sexually abusing them through physical force and compulsion.

Authorities claim that one of the suspects sexually assaulted a victim twice in March 2022. The Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism in Romania claims that at least six victims were “sexually exploited by the organized criminal group” (DIICOT).

On January 25, after being taken in for interrogation and having their electronic equipment seized for examination, the brothers argued that they were innocent.

“There’s no evidence in my file because I’ve done nothing wrong. Everybody knows I’m innocent, ” Andrew Tate said. As he was led into DIICOT headquarters, he added: “There is no justice in Romania.”

Ioan Gliga, one of the Tate brothers’ lawyers, told reporters at the time: “We are convinced that the evidence is in favor of our clients, categorically not against them.”
