The Romanian judiciary has ordered this Friday, after several hours of hearings and deliberations, that the former boxer and ‘streamer’ Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan remain in prison on remand for a period of 30 days.
This decision, approved by a court in the capital, Bucharest, can however be appealed by Andrew and Tristan Tate, who now have 48 hours to file their complaint, according to the Romanian daily ‘Libertatea’.
The Romanian police arrested the Tate brothers in the early hours of Thursday to Friday morning as part of an investigation into their alleged involvement in a criminal organization dedicated to human trafficking and rape.
The Romanian Prosecutor’s Office accuses the two brothers of having formed an organized criminal group with which they recruited, housed and forced women to create materials with pornographic content for subsequent distribution, Romania TV reports.
With these activities, Andrew and Tristan would have obtained significant sums of money with which they would have bought houses, luxury cars and would have also invested in cryptocurrencies.
The arrest took place after the ex-boxer posted a video on social networks and in which he responded to a taunt by the young environmentalist Greta Thunberg, all while eating pizza from a popular Romanian pizzeria chain.
The appearance of the pizza box in the video made it clear that Tate was in Romanian territory, which allowed the authorities of the European country to accelerate the case and finally break into the place where the well-known ‘streamer’, of ultraconservative ideology and skeptic of climate change, was staying.
