Under Romanian legislation, prosecutors have filed charges against the four suspects, but the case is still under investigation and has not gone to trial
“You know I’m innocent,” Tate told reporters as he was taken inside the courtroom earlier in the day. Asked whether he was hoping to be released on Wednesday, he said, “There is not much justice in Romania.”
Prosecutors have said the Tate brothers recruited their alleged victims by seducing them and falsely claiming to want a relationship or marriage. The victims were then coerced to produce pornographic content for social media sites that generated large financial gain, prosecutors said. Tate’s defence lawyers have said prosecutors had no real evidence and have asked the judge to consider placing the suspects under house arrest rather than police detention.
“They asked the court for their freedom based on the lack of evidence against them and the lack of any criminal history,” Tina Glandian, an American lawyer the Tates brought on their legal team as an advisor told reporters. Andrew Tate gained mainstream notoriety for misogynistic remarks that got him banned from all major social media platforms, although his Twitter account was reinstated in November after Elon Musk acquired the social media giant.
