Andrew Tate reportedly loses appeal, Romanian court upholds 30-day arrest
According to reports, the Romanian court has rejected controversial internet personalities Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan's appeal. Furthermore, reports suggest that prosecutors may seek to extend their detention period from the initial 30 days to 180 days.

A spokesperson for the Romanian anti-organization crime agency DIICOT revealed earlier today that the court had denied their appeal seeking a release.
Andrew Tate, along with his brother and two other women charged with the aforementioned crimes, could see their detention get extended to as many as 180 days after the Romanian court rescinded their appeal for a release.
The group was initially taken into custody on December 29 following severe charges and detained in an area north of Bucharest.
Authorities can now demand that Andrew Tate, his brother, and the two Romanian citizens detained as part of the same inquiry into criminal organizations, human trafficking, and rape be given additional time in custody.
