Self-described misogynist Andrew Tate's detention in Romania extended by another 30 days

A judge in Romania has granted a request to extend by another 30 days the arrest of Andrew Tate, the social media personality and self-described misogynist who was detained in the country on charges of being part of an organized crime group, human trafficking and rape, an official said Friday.

Tate, 36, a British-U.S. citizen who has 4.7 million followers on Twitter, was initially detained Dec. 29 in Bucharest, Romania’s capital. His brother, Tristan, and two Romanian women were arrested and held in the same case.

Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, told the Associated Press that prosecutors requested the second 30-day extension Thursday to keep all four in detention while the investigation continued. A judge approved the request Friday, she said.

The judge’s decision at the Bucharest Tribunal came after the four lost an appeal last week in a Bucharest court against a judge’s Dec. 30 ruling to extend their arrests from 24 hours to 30 days.

How is he going to be able to roll-coal and pollute the environment if he doesn't have his thirty-three cars?

But no, locking up Trump and his cronies while they're being investigated for TRYING TO KILL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, THE VICE PRESIDENT and OVERTHROW AN ELECTION... well, that would be imprudent and would not reflect well on our institutions.

If conditions where they're being detained are anything like reports of typical Romanian prisons, he already really wants to, even if it'd be under arrest.
