Andrew Tate speaks out to address human trafficking claims: \u201cThere is no evidence\u201d YouTube: PBD PodcastAndrew Tate, the controversial influencer who is currently being held in custody by Romanian police, has spoken out on social media to directly address the allegations made against him. Tate, along with his brother Tristan and two other suspects, was arrested on December 29 by Romania\u2019s anti-terrorism and organized crime agency, DIICOT. In addition to being arrested, his assets have been seized, including multiple luxury vehicles that have been impounded. The investigation concerns suspected human trafficking and rape, both of which have been denied through Tate\u2019s lawyer. Andrew Tate has still been posting on social media frequently throughout his time in custody. It\u2019s unclear if he himself has access to make posts, or if someone is posting on his behalf. Previously claiming that a mysterious \u201cmatrix\u201d was to blame for his legal troubles, he has now addressed the human trafficking allegation head-on. Andrew Tate addresses accusations of human trafficking In his first tweet on January 14, Tate said that anyone who believed the allegations was a \u201cmoron.\u201d \u201cAnyone smart enough to understand the American System is unfair would be mind blown by the injustice of the Romanian System,\u201d he concluded. He followed this post up with a second on January 15. Here, he claimed there were no victims, however, victims\u2019 statements have been submitted by the prosecution. \u201cThey have arrested me to \u2018look\u2019 for evidence,\u201d he continued, \u201cwhich they will not find because it doesn\u2019t exist.\u201d DIICOT said it had identified a total of six victims in the human trafficking case. Romanian law states that suspects in an investigation can be held for up to 30 days, but this can be extended by a judge, \u201cat the request of the prosecutor, for an additional 30 days at a time. The total period in detention before the closing of criminal investigations should not exceed 180 days.\u201d Tate\u2019s lawyers appealed the 30-day detention, but the appeal was turned down by the judge. Tate also lost an appeal against his seized assets, which include a Ferrarri and a Rolls-Royce. No charges have been brought in the case yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
