Controversial internet personality Andrew Tate will be detained in Romania for 30 days on charges of human trafficking and rape, officials say.
Tate, his brother Tristan Tate and two Romanian women were put in 30-day, pre-trial detention in Bucharest on Friday, according to Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism, or DIICOT.
The extended detainment follows raids on the four suspects' Romanian properties on Thursday. They were initially detained for 24 hours on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organized crime group, though prosecutors asked a Bucharest court to extend their detention amid the ongoing investigation, Bolla said.DIICOT said it has identified six women -- one American, two Moldovan and three Romanian citizens -- who were allegedly sexually exploited by the organized criminal group.
Prosecutors said the Tate brothers, who are British citizens, have been under criminal investigation since April.
