Andrew Tate loses legal appeal to end detention in Romania

Romanian court denies challenge and rules he must serve full 30 days along with brother and two female suspects

A Romanian court has rejected Andrew Tate's appeal against his detention, ruling that the former kickboxer, influencer and professed misogynist must remain in custody while an organised crime investigation continues.

Tate, 36, his brother Tristan, 34, and two Romanian female suspects were arrested by prosecutors on 29 December on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group to exploit women. Both men have denied wrongdoing.
