Divisive influencer Tate loses appeal against asset seizures

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A court in Romania’s capital Bucharest has rejected an appeal by the divisive social media personality Andrew Tate against asset seizures by prosecutors who are investigating him on charges of being part of an organized crime group and human trafficking, an official said Wednesday.

Tate, 36, a British-U.S. citizen who has 4.5 million followers on Twitter, was detained on Dec. 29. in Bucharest along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian women. On Tuesday, a court upheld a judge’s Dec. 30 move to extend their arrest from 24 hours to 30 days.

In a separate hearing Wednesday at the Bucharest Tribunal, Tate lost an appeal that challenged assets seized by prosecutors, including properties and a fleet of luxury cars, said Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romanian anti-organized crime agency DIICOT.

The court “decided that the seizures are legal and (that) the goods remain at our disposal," she told The Associated Press.

Accused Rapist, sex trafficker, Tate loses appeal against asset seizures

I fixed it for them. Why can't they bring themselves to use his actual charges in the headline. Instead of minimizing what he did as merely divisive?
