Influencer Andrew Tate has appeared in court in Romania to appeal against his detention after more than a month in custody. Handcuffed to his brother Tristan, he shouted to waiting reporters that he was innocent. The pair have been held since late December as police investigate allegations of rape and exploitation, which both men deny. Last month, a judge extended their detention until the end of February. Police have not yet laid any charges against the brothers, who moved to Romania five years ago. Filing an appeal against the custody extension on Wednesday, Andrew’s lawyer Ioan Gliga told journalists that he had “new evidence” to refute prosecutors’ arguments. “The victims deny any wrongdoing – it’s only in the minds of the prosecution that a crime has been committed,” he said. A verdict in the appeal is expected later today.(BBC)…[+]
