Three days before the trial in which will judge the request of release, Andrew Tate, the British millionaire arrested for human trafficking and organized crime alongside his brother, was released from custody and taken to hospital.
Andreea Georgescu, Digi24 journalist: The Tate brothers have been in pre-trial detention for 10 days already, being accused by DIICOT prosecutors of organized crime, the creation of a criminal group and human trafficking, these being the reasons why a rights and freedoms judge issued arrest warrants on their names.
Andrew Tate asked to be taken to the medical office of the central prison, where he has been for 10 days, and presented there medical documents showing that he would need a specialist consultation which cannot be done in the health network of the Home Office , which is why he was taken under the strict supervision of the police from the central detention center to a hospital in the civil circuit in Bucharest.
There he was seen by a specialist doctor, we understand that he was given several specialist tests, after which he was taken back to the custody of the Capital Police where he remains until Tuesday, when he hopes to be released from custody.
Then, the Bucharest Court of Appeal will consider the appeal of the Tate brothers to the measure of preventive arrest in the case where the accusations against the two are particularly serious.
The DIICOT investigators say that they have so far identified six young women who accuse the two of manipulating and even threatening them, or blackmailing them to contribute to the increase of the Tate brothers’ wealth by providing images of them in compromising poses, in pornographic poses , which were then sold on various platforms or specialized social networking sites.
