Judges rejected Andrew Tate's appeal against his detention, saying they took into account the 'articular dangerousness of the defendants' and their ability to identify the victims 'with an increased vulnerability in search of better life opportunities'
He has repeatedly said that prosecutors have no evidence, and alleged the case is a"political" conspiracy designed to keep him quiet - a view also expressed by his supporters online.
A post on Tate's Twitter account said on Monday morning before the hearing:"I've been in jail for 61 days. But not allowed a single visit. Not even from my children."In a statement after the initial arrests, DIICOT said it had found six victims in the human trafficking case, who say they were subjected to"acts of physical violence and mental coercion", and allegedly sexually exploited by the people who have been arrested.
Last month, authorities in Romania seized millions of pounds of Tate's assets from a compound outside the capital, including a fleet of luxury vehicles. If it can be proved the car's owners gained their money through illegal activities, prosecutors say they will be used to cover the costs of the investigation and compensate any victims.
