Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, were arrested in December on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group to exploit women. They have allegedly demanded a hairstylist visit them in jail and for a PlayStation to be placed in their prison cell. The brothers lost their latest bid to be released from prison, with a Romanian court upholding a third extension for their detention. They will now remain in jail until at least March 29.
Since their arrest, the brothers have allegedly demanded prison officers bring them a PlayStation and a hairstylist, but the Romanian officials have refused to adhere to their demands. Tate, who had a cleanly shaven head before his arrest, has become frustrated with his appearance. He has been sporting longer hair, but it is noticeably thinning, so you can see his bald patches. Tate allegedly complained that he could not shave his head as disposable razors are not allowed in the prison and later demanded that prison officials bring in a hairstylist to sort out his hair. But this demand was rejected.
Tate and his brother also allegedly demanded the prison officials buy them a PlayStation to play games in the prison cell that they share. When Tate demanded to know where the PlayStation was, prison officials reportedly told him that in custody, ‘prisoners don’t play, they pray’. The divisive influencer will be detained for another 30 days, according to Ramona Bolla, a spokesman for Romania’s anti-organized crime agency DIICOT.
DIICOT said in a statement after the December arrests that it had identified six victims in the human trafficking case who were subjected to ‘acts of physical violence and mental coercion’ and were sexually exploited by members of the alleged crime group. The agency said victims were lured with pretences of love and later intimidated, placed under surveillance, and subjected to other control tactics while being coerced into engaging in pornographic acts for the financial gain of the crime group.
In January, Romanian authorities descended on a compound near Bucharest linked with the Tate brothers. They towed away a luxury car fleet, including a Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari, and a Porsche. They reported seizing assets worth an estimated £3.24 million. Prosecutors have said that if they can prove the cars’ owners gained money through illicit activities such as human trafficking, the assets would be used to cover the investigation’s expenses and compensate victims. Tate also unsuccessfully appealed against the asset seizure.
