Self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate will remain behind bars for the next 30 days, a court has ruled. Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested related to an investigation into organized crime, rape, and sex trafficking. The social media influencer also has millions of followers across his platforms, and police claim he used his popularity for nefarious deeds.
At least six women were reportedly held at the brothers' compound, where police claim they were made to create pornographic content. A court ruled to extend Tate's prison sentence for 30 days as the investigation into his alleged crimes continues.

It was noted that a judge was concerned about them being flight risks. Additionally, over a dozen of Andrew's luxury cars were seized by the authorities. Their worth was in the millions.
