Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have custody in Romania extended by another month
By Lucy Williamson in Bucharest & Thomas Mackintosh in LondonControversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan will remain in custody in Romania for a fourth consecutive month, a court has ruled.
The brothers have been detained since December and are being investigated on allegations of rape, people trafficking and forming an organised crime group. Both have denied wrongdoing.Under Romanian law, the men can be held for up to six months in detention. The brothers' lawyers told a court in Bucharest prosecutors had brought no new evidence to Wednesday's hearing.Lawyers have long argued keeping the Tates in preventative custody is unnecessarily harsh, when other judicial options - such as house arrest - are available.
But, judges have repeatedly disagreed and ruled four times this year to keep the men in preventative detention while investigators compile evidence against them.
