Andrew Tate denied bail for the third time, will remain in Romanian prison through end of March

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate, who was detained alongside his brother Tristan on human trafficking and rape charges in Romania in December of last year, has been denied bail after three detainment extensions on Tuesday, his spokesperson confirmed to CBS News. Tate will remain in a Romanian prison through at least the end of the month.

"Unfortunately, the Romanian judicial system denied Andrew Tate's request for bail today," said Mateea Petrescu, head of communications for the Tate brothers.

"We are disappointed in this outcome as we had high hopes to see Andrew reunited with his family. His legal team will be appealing this decision within the 48hr time frame," Petrescu added.
