Sexist troll Andrew Tate will be welcoming the New Year in a Romanian “detention center” after prosecutors were granted a 30-day hold following his arrest on Thursday. The American-British kickboxer/influencer was detained in Romania along with his brother, Tristan, after his house was raided as part of an investigation into rape and human trafficking, authorities said. Two others were also taken by Romanian law enforcement, Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) said. A judge in Bucharest approved the extended detention on Friday afternoon. “The four suspects... appear to have created an organized crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialized websites for a cost,” DIICOT said in a statement.
