Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan will remain in custody in Romania for a fourth consecutive month, a court has ruled.

The brothers have been detained since December and are being investigated on allegations of rape, people trafficking and forming an organised crime group. Both have denied wrongdoing.

Mr Tate's lawyers say he will be held until the end of April.

Their spokeswoman Mateea Petrescu said the team was "speechless".

Under Romanian law, the men can be held for up to six months in detention.

The brothers' lawyers told a closed court in Bucharest that prosecutors had brought no new evidence to Wednesday's hearing. They also suggested their clients' notoriety was contributing to the decision to keep them in custody.

Ms Petrescu said that - for the first time - the judge addressed the brothers directly during the hearing, to ask for their response to the prosecution argument that they were a flight risk and a risk to public order.

Despite what was described as a "dynamic exchange", the judge eventually ruled the two men should be kept in preventative custody for another 30 days, until the end of April.

Ms Petrescu said the continued detention had "irreparably harmed" their image and that "it [would] take years to rebuild their reputation".

Lawyers have long argued that keeping the Tates in preventative custody is unnecessarily harsh, when other judicial options - such as house arrest - are available.

But, judges have repeatedly disagreed and ruled four times this year to keep the men in detention while investigators compile evidence against them.

sneaky lie there tc

Ms Petrescu said the continued detention had "irreparably harmed" their image

Are you sure that's what harmed their image and not their dogshit personalities and the trafficking in itself.

They have soo many criminating evidence against him because he keeps fucking bragging about it on camera. His only defence for them is the same crap that Alex Jones spewed about Sandy Hooks, he's just "playing a character".

Good. I hope he rots.

He moved there because law enforcement is corrupt and they don't take sex crimes seriously. He probably shouldn't have essentially issued a challenge for prosecutors to come and get him.

Yay.
