A court in Romania has agreed to extend social media influencer Andrew Tate’s detention on suspicion of organised crime and human trafficking by another 30 days, an official said.

Tate, 36, a British-US citizen known for misogynistic views who has 5.1 million Twitter followers, was arrested on December 29 when authorities descended on his property north of the capital Bucharest.
