"Absolutely outrageous": Andrew Tate's supporters slam Romanian authorities for extending his detention by 30 days
Controversial public figure Andrew Tate has had his detention in a Romanian jail extended yet again. He, along with his brother Tristan, have had their time in police custody extended by another 30 days.
The decision comes from a Bucharest court, just a week after Tate's bail request was denied. He is expected to appeal this latest extension.
The Tate brothers are being detained for alleged human trafficking, rape, and organized crime. Neither has been indicted as of now, and the maximum time they can be detained without officially being indicted is 180 days.
Tate's supporters have been angered by the repeated extensions, which they see as unjustified. One supporter described the situation as "outrageous" while criticizing the Romanian government's handling of the Tates, saying:

Romanian authorities may legally detain them without an indictment, but only for a period of 180 days, or six months.
Today, March 22, 2023, marks the fourth time that the Tates have had their detention extended. Andrew has unsuccessfully appealed all three of the previous extensions and is expected to do so again. Last week, his bail request was rejected by a court in Bucharest. It would seem unlikely that Tate's luck in the courtroom will change this time around.
Andrew Tate sent out a tweet on Wednesday following his detainment being extended, which said:
