Andrew Tate Jail Update: Podcaster Reportedly Eating “Stone Cold Food” With Insects In His Cell

by

When Andrew Tate was arrested in Romania during the final days of 2022, the podcaster certainly think he’d still be behind bars three months later. He’s managed to continue sending messages out to his fanbase via Twitter. They’ve mainly been regularly updating followers on the allegedly horrible conditions he’s facing while awaiting his trial. Most recently, the embattled media personality is claiming that the excess presence of bugs in his cell is preventing him from being able to consume all of his food.

According to a recent tweet, Tate receives his meals three times a day – at 8 AM, noon, and 5 PM. “I have a plastic bag I use to try and protect the food from insects. I spend my entire day destroying the flies and ants who get close to the meal,” he explained. “In accordance [with] Ramadan, when the sun goes down, I eat the stone cold food in my cell by myself.” On Monday (March 27), the 36-year-old returned with an update on his situation. “Today I lost 30% of my calories to insects. Tomorrow the battle begins again,” he vented.

Andrew Tate Updates Concerned Fans

As Mirror reports, Andrew and his brother, Tristan Tate, were detained for an additional 30 days earlier this week. At the time, a spokesperson for the siblings said, “We have been rendered speechless by the news. The interaction with the judge was extremely dynamic and the brothers were offered for the first time the opportunity to present all legal guarantees that they are not a flight risk.” They also added, “They are the first ones who want light to be shed on this case.”

“The substantial material damages they have suffered are nothing compared to the moral ones. Their image has been irreparably harmed and it will take years to rebuild the reputation, trust and connection with the general public,” the official statement ended. At this time, Romanian prosecutors remain under the impression that Andrew Tate and his brother, as well as two other suspects, were part of an organized crime group “with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content.” Make sure to check back later for any updates on the investigation.

Andrew Tate To Remain In Jail For 30 More Days: Details

by

A Romanian court has ruled to extend Andrew Tate’s hold for another 30 days, as reported on Tuesday (February 21st). The social media influencer, largely known for his controversial viewpoints, initially was detained following human trafficking allegations. The ongoing investigation into the suspicions of organized crime has warranted three 30-day extensions since Andrew’s initial arrest on December 29th, according to AP News. Accompanying the 36-year-old is his brother, Tristan. The duo was initially joined in custody by two Romanian women who will now be moved to house arrest.

The legal team representing the Tate brothers had appealed a prior extension ruling on February 1st, which they ultimately lost. Should the defendants be faced with another extension next month, the defense team is ready to challenge it, the outlet reports. Eugene Vidineac, one of the Tates’ lawyers, described how his team “effectively paralyzed the evidence,” resulting in insufficient reasons for the brothers to remain in custody.

Andrew, the older sibling of the two, boasts over five million followers on his social media pages. The influencer still has access to his accounts while behind bars and took to Twitter on February 14th to reflect on his situation: ”there are two possible futures of the universe. One, they kill me. Two, I emerge as one of the most respected and influential men on the planet galvanized by false persecution. I ask my enemies to make a choice. I will stay awake tonight prepared for mortal combat. Send your best.” Often referred to as misogynistic and hateful, the former kickboxing champion gained recognition for broadcasting his viewpoints online. Having resided in Romania since 2017, Tate maintains his opinion that his arrest was a premeditated political attack by the Romanian government.

According to Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, the human-trafficking case’s six alleged victims were revealed to have experienced mental and physical abuse from their captors. Additionally, the suspects forced the victims to film pornographic materials for their own financial gain. While the case has not led to any formal charges yet, it looks like the Tate brothers won’t be getting off easily any time soon.
