Andrew Tate Bail Request Denied By Romanian Court: Report

by

Andrew Tate will remain behind bars after a Romanian court denied his latest appeal. Authorities in Romania detained the controversial influencer, his brother, and two women in late December on suspicion of human trafficking and organized crime. The Romanian court denied his several release attempts. However, they didn’t file charges against him yet. The court extended his detainment, once again, last month and it appears that they won’t allow him to make bail, either.

According to Sky News, Andrew Tate lost another appeal in his release. A Romanian judge ruled that the former kickboxing world champ will remain behind bars for another 30 days at least. Tate appeared in court today to try to appeal the extension. His spokesperson said that Tate hoped “reunited with his family.” “His legal team will be appealing this decision within the 48hr time frame,” the rep continued. With the rejection of his appeal, Tate will now be held in a Romanian prison until March 29th.

When Tate and his brother were initially arrested on Dec. 29th, officials said that they would be held in custody for 24 hours. However, the court extended his detainment by 30 days. Then in January, they extended it for another 30 days and did the same in February. Court documents explained they kept them in custody because “the possibility of them evading investigations cannot be ignored.” They feared that he could be a flight risk, writing Tate could “leave Romania and settle in countries that do not allow extradition.”

Tate and his brother have insisted that they’re innocent of any of the accusations they face, claiming the Romanian government doesn’t have a shred of evidence against them. However, it’s quite rare for suspects under preventative arrests to request bail, though there are many instances where a judge grants requests to be placed on house arrest or geographically restricted. 

Tate’s Health Scare

Earlier this month, reports emerged claiming that Tate was battling lung cancer. Alleged medical documents surfaced online alleging that his doctors wanted him to undergo immediate surgery and that his incarceration presented an immediate threat to his well-being. However, Tate later addressed the claims on Twitter, writing, “I do not have cancer. My lungs contain precisely 0 smoking damage. In fact, I have an 8L lung capacity and the vital signs of an Olympic athlete. There is nothing but a scar on my lung from an old battle. True warriors are scarred both inside and out.”

Andrew Tate remains behind bars on allegations of organized crime and human trafficking following his arrest in Romania. The former kickboxer and his brother, Tristan Tate, have maintained their innocence since their arrest, though authorities in the European country haven’t released them. Andrew Tate has been incredibly vocal about his experience behind bars but the latest revelation is left many of his supporters concerned for his health.

In a statement to the Daily Mail, Tate’s rep said that the ex Big Brother contestant is likely suffering from cancer. After Tate previously indicated that he’s dealing with a health condition that “shouldn’t be taken lightly,” his rep said that it’s likely cancer. The rep confirmed, “Tate has a dark spot on his lung, most likely a tumour.” His doctors in Romania and Dubai expressed concern surrounding the lesion of his upper right lung. Per medical reports, they described it as a “serious health condition.” “No official diagnosis has been confirmed and he is in good shape and is staying strong. His doctors have requested that he returns to Dubai for further testing,” the rep said, though Romanian authorities reportedly only want him to receive treatment in the country.

Andrew Tate’s Alleged Medical Documents Leak

Romanian output Spy News obtained Tate’s alleged medical documents from Romania and Dubai. He visited the doctor on December 5th, prior to his arrest, with plans to return to Dubai in January for a bronchoscopy and biopsy surrounding the lesion. They described the tests as a part of “further urgent investigations.” “Time is of the essence and any further delay in the above investigations may have a serious negative implication for Andrew’s physical health,” the alleged doctor note reads.

Shortly after the news emerged, a man claiming to be Tate’s manager confirmed that the controversial influencer has cancer. “Ok a lot of people are asking me if Tate lung cancer story is true. Yes it’s true, I was the one driving with him to and from the hospitals in Dubai. I don’t have any more specifics to share. This tweet explains more,” the individual wrote on Instagram. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding Tate’s medical condition and case.

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.
