‘Forever jail’! Andrew Tate reacts as arrest conditions extended indefinitely in rape and human trafficking case

Andrew Tate, a social media personality known for his controversial views and extravagant lifestyle, appeared in a Romanian court on Wednesday to face charges of rape, human trafficking, and forming a criminal gang for the exploitation of women. The former kickboxer, accompanied by his brother Tristan, vehemently denied the allegations and expressed his love for the country, while maintaining his innocence throughout the proceedings.

The case, which dates back to December, alleges that the Tate brothers, along with two associates, orchestrated an organized criminal group to engage in human trafficking, not only within Romania but also in the United States and the United Kingdom. The indictment highlights seven alleged victims who were reportedly lured into the scheme through false promises of love and marriage.

Prosecutors claim that these women were then subjected to intimidation, surveillance, and forced labor, eventually being coerced into participating in pornography that was subsequently shared on social media.

One of the defendants is specifically accused of raping a woman on two occasions in March 2022, according to statements from Romanian prosecutors. The trial, expected to span several years, is yet to commence as a Romanian judge has 60 days to review the case files before proceeding to trial.

Andrew took on Twitter to express his exasperation against the ongoing case. He tweeted, "Imagine that I was held until the absolute limit of jail conditions without charge, down to the last few hours. If they had a case, why wait so long? Then charged last second with who knows what - and all of the arrest conditions extended indefinitely. Forever jail."

The media team representing the Tate brothers issued a statement, acknowledging the predictability of the charges but expressing their eagerness to present evidence that supports their claims of innocence. They emphasized their confidence in the comprehensive body of evidence they have collected over time, which they believe will vindicate the brothers' reputation.

Additional investigations are ongoing, with potential charges of money laundering and trafficking of minors pending. The outcome of these investigations could lead to a separate indictment against the accused.

Andrew Tate's controversial past precedes him, with his removal from the British TV show "Big Brother" in 2016 after a video surfaced, seemingly showing him attacking a woman. Despite facing social media bans, Tate continued to gain popularity online by promoting an ostentatiously luxurious and hyper-masculine lifestyle, which resonated with some young men.
