The Andrew Tate saga continues to captivate audiences worldwide, with the latest developments focusing on the possibility of legal action against Romanian authorities.
Andrew Tate’s Appeal Denied, Renowned US Attorney Steps In
The controversial social media personality and former kickboxer, along with his brother Tristan and two women, were arrested in Romania in late December 2022. They face serious allegations of human trafficking and rape, with prosecutors claiming the group formed an organized criminal enterprise to exploit women for profit through the creation and distribution of pornographic content.
After losing an appeal against a 30-day detention, Tate lost a second appeal against an extension to his detainment, which is set to last until February 27th. As the investigation continues, renowned US attorney Tina Glandian, known for representing high-profile clients like Chris Brown and Mike Tyson, has joined the Tate brothers’ legal team.
Glandian’s Bold Claims and Limited Jurisdiction in Romania
Glandian, in a statement before the appeal hearing, criticized the Romanian judicial system, alleging a lack of evidence against her clients and a violation of their international human rights.

However, as Romanian legal expert Stefan Lordan points out, Glandian’s understanding of Romanian law appears limited. He clarifies that the option for bail doesn’t apply in cases involving the severity of charges against the Tate brothers.
Furthermore, Lordan highlights that Glandian’s public criticism of the Romanian legal system could be detrimental to her clients’ case. By claiming the system is corrupt and has failed the Tate brothers, she risks provoking a defensive stance from Romanian authorities.
Inside the Romanian Legal System: A Complex Process Unfolds
Lordan, providing insight into the Romanian legal system, explains that the prosecutor’s strategy appears to be keeping the defendants detained throughout the investigation phase before moving the case to trial. He anticipates the detention period to be less than the maximum 180 days, after which the case will be presented to a preliminary chamber judge.
This judge will then determine if sufficient evidence exists to proceed to trial with another judge presiding. The Romanian legal system, according to Lordan, differs significantly from the US system, involving multiple levels of judges and a complex procedural framework.
Could Andrew Tate Sue the Romanian Government?
In a recent development, Andrew Tate hinted at the possibility of suing Romanian authorities. When asked by reporters outside the courthouse, he responded with, “No, I’m innocent. There’s no justice.”
While Tate maintains his innocence, the question of legal recourse against the Romanian government remains a point of interest. Lordan clarifies that any legal action against Romanian authorities would only be possible if Tate is found not guilty. He explains that suing the government during the investigation phase is improbable, and even if charges are brought but no conviction is reached, such a lawsuit is uncommon in Romania.
What’s Next for Andrew Tate?
As the Tate brothers remain in detention, the world watches closely for the next chapter in this unfolding legal drama. With no clear timeline for the conclusion of the investigation, the possibility of further charges, and Glandian’s involvement adding another layer of complexity, the outcome of the Andrew Tate saga remains uncertain.
