Andrew Tate ordered to spend 30 MORE days behind bars amid sex trafficking probe as 'angels' freed on house arrest | The Sun
DISGRACED influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan will spend at least another 30 days behind bars, judges in Romania ruled today.
Two co-accused women dubbed "Tate's Angels" – were freed on house arrest as a criminal probe continues into allegations of human trafficking, rape and organised crime.
Former kickboxer and Big Brother star Andrew Tate, 36, has now been in custody for more than 50 days.
He and his brother Tristan were arrested on December 29 at their luxury complex outside the Romanian capital.
Lawyers urged a court in Bucharest to grant them bail at a hearing today.
But the judges ruled it was necessary to extend warrants for the brothers' detention by a further 30 days.

They are expected to appeal.
The two women arrested with them – former police officer Luana Radu, 32, and Andrew's model lover Georgiana Naghel, 28 – were both released with strict conditions.
Earlier today their lawyers said they expected them to be released.
Constantin Ion Gliga said he had a "lot of confidence" ahead of the ruling and claimed "no new evidence" had been brought to light.

Tate himself told the court he is "being held in custody to make me mentally ill" and claimed it was part of a ploy to make him succumb to pressure.
It comes after Tate branded prison an "animal house" and claimed inmates brawl with guards in his latest rant from behind bars.
In yet another email to subscribers, Tate again complained about his detention.
He said: "In jail, where distractions are so limited, emotions become the entertainment of choice for most.
"Inmates enjoy feeling anger. I've seen men fight the guards for pure fun.
Tate previously moaned about the conditions in prison, saying cockroaches and lice were his "only friends at night".
The brothers are accused of recruiting women on social media platforms and persuading them to travel to their £600,000 villa on the outskirts of the country's capital.
The brothers would allegedly falsely claim to be in love with the young women, before making them perform sexual acts on webcams.
Women were forced to film porn videos in the compound and were kept under 24/7 house arrest, according to Romanian investigators.
Prosecutors also said one of the brothers raped one of the victims in March of last year, which is when the investigation started.
The Tate brothers have maintained their innocence, and claim their detention is part of a conspiracy to silence them.
Andrew has threatened to sue a woman who accused him of trafficking for £249million to "shut down" the case against him.
