• Andrew Tate is currently in jail, where he must remain until at least next month
• He sent a message to his followers, titled: ‘My first email from imprisonment’

Andrew Tate is moaning about the conditions of his prison cell, and says it is crawling full of  ‘cockroaches, lice and bed bugs’.

The former kickboxer and influencer, who was arrested last month on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group to exploit women, is also complaining that his cell also ‘has no light’.

The disgraced influencer has spoken about his prison conditions after a court ruled he could stay in a Romanian jail for another month.

The 36-year-old sent a message to followers of his website, titled: ‘My first email from imprisonment’.

Andrew Tate sent an email to his subscribers where he complained about conditions in the prison

Tate complained: ‘They are trying to break me. Thrown inside a cell without light.

‘Cockroaches, lice, and bed bugs are my only friends at night.

‘When the guards bring me to and from the courtroom, I stay absolutely respectful. They try to pour hatred into my heart.’

Tate also mentions the prison guards on multiple occasions, claiming they ‘know I am innocent’ and ‘are just performing their job’ as ‘they have families to feed’.

Tate’s Twitter feed has continued to post, although it is unclear if the Tweets are from him or one of his representatives.

He recently Tweeted that he is now allowed to receive mail, and encouraged his following to send him an email.

Tate has also continued his whining on Twitter, with one Tweet reading: ‘In the darkened silence of solitary confinement there is almost no noise. Pray for me, I can hear you.’

He also claimed: ‘every generation’s great revolutionaries suffer from unfair imprisonment.’

Tate – along with his younger brother Tristan, and two Romanian women, Luana Radu and Georgiana Naghel – was arrested last month and remanded in custody for 30 days. They deny any wrongdoing.

He is accused of recruiting scores of women and holding them under house arrest ‘like prisoners’ while forcing them to create online pornographic content on webcams.

Romanian prosecutors allege that Tate recruited the women on social media platforms and then lured them to his compound in Bucharest by falsely professing his love and intention to marry them. 

Romania authorities seized 15 luxury cars from Tate’s villa on the outskirts of the capital, as well as 14 designer watches, and cash worth an estimated 3.6 million euros (£3.17 million).

The British-US citizen currently has 4.4 million followers on Twitter, having previously been banned from various social media platforms for expressing misogynistic views and hate speech.

The court in Bucharest has since extended his detainment until February 27.

Tate was furious over the decision and told his lawyers that he is ‘being arrested for a crime of opinion’.

Constantin Ioan Gliga, one of the defence lawyers, told Romanian news outlet Gandul: ‘We continue to maintain that practically at this moment the Tate brothers are being arrested for a crime of opinion, for what they said, at some point, in the online environment and not for what they actually did in their private lives.’ 

Gliga added that the decision was ‘unjustified and totally exaggerated’.

The judge’s ruling came after all four – Tate, Tristan, Luana Radu, and Georgiana Naghel – lost an appeal earlier this month at a Bucharest court, which ruled to uphold a judge’s December 30 move to uphold an earlier decision to extend their arrest from 24 hours to 30 days.
