A Romanian court on Jan. 10 rejected Andrew Tate’s bid to end his detention, ruling that the social media personality must remain in custody as an investigation into his alleged role in a human trafficking ring continues.

Tate, 36, and his brother, Tristan Tate, had arrived at the Bucharest Court of Appeal early on Tuesday morning to appeal their extended 30-day detention after they were initially arrested on Dec. 29 along with two Romanian women in the capital city of Bucharest.
