Once again, a Romanian court has extended Andrew Tate’s detainment for another 30 days, leading to more questions than answers in an investigation that may be leaning more toward desperation.
Tate has not exactly been the most well-liked man in the world and it’s not just due to some of his head-scratching opinions and human trafficking allegations, which led to his recent detainment and ongoing custody. Those allegations are mostly born out of his profits from a webcam business where he had as much as 70 different women working for him as webcam girls. Men would pay fees to watch the girls live online, usually as the girls would engage in individual sex acts requested by the subscriber.
Multiple women — who were amongst the webcam girls working for him — accuse him of manipulating them into the work partially by using the Loverboy Method in order to initially mislead them.
Romanian authorities then arrested Andrew and his brother Tristan Tate on Dec. 29, 2022, publicly stating that they had been investigating the Tate brothers since April.
Originally, the detainment was ordered to be 30 days but as that 30-day period neared its end, they convinced the court to detain the Tates for 30 more days until Feb. 27, and now they have yet again convinced the court to extend it to another 30 days. In Romania, authorities are allowed to detain those under investigation for a total of 180 days.
This is making many wonder, regardless of their opinions on Tate, if this investigation is more motivated by public opinion than factual evidence, especially considering that apparently no evidence has been presented and that DIICOT (Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism) — who is charge of the investigation — keeps asking for more time.
Of course, it’s very possible that they are about to throw the book at Andrew Tate but, keep in mind that this investigation has now been going on for 10 months — the last 2 months with Tate in detainment — so what is it they are failing to find? Perhaps the answer is that they are failing to find anything.
Andrew Tate has flat-out stated that his detainment is unjust, told reporters that he’s done nothing wrong, and that there’s no evidence against him, and called out DIICOT for being corrupt.
For those who have extreme dislike for Andrew Tate, it’s worth noting that this is the worst thing that can happen because if Romanian authorities ultimately find nothing and are thus forced to release him then it will make Andrew Tate more influential than he already is. If his constant claims of his detainment being unjust prove true, then it will make more people believe that other things he says must also be true.
And, thus, Romania would have foolishly done a massive favor to Tate’s popularity, as if he needed it, which will likely grow – and that’s a scary thought for those who despise the already massively popular social media influencer.
