Hur var det nu, tycker Tate och hans följare att Rumänien är korrupt eller inte?
Citat:
Eugen Vidineac, the Romanian lawyer defending Mr. Tate, said that his client had “said many stupid things,” but that after his arrest, “he stopped thinking about Romania being so corrupt.”
Citat:
Monica Boseff, the president of the Open Door Foundation, a private group that runs a shelter for women fleeing the sex trade, said that Mr. Tate was “not the only misogynist making creepy statements on social media related to women.” But she said he had “miscalculated” in his belief that anything goes in Romania.
Citat:
Romanian-American University in Bucharest who has worked with prosecutors on trafficking cases, Mr. Tate’s big mistake was not so much that he misjudged Romania’s changing legal and social climate, but that he included a young American woman among his alleged victims.
Without pressure from the United States to investigate Mr. Tate, Ms. Tabusca said, “I’m not sure Romanian prosecutors would ever have touched him.”
Citat:
“Romania is not as corrupt as Tate had thought and hoped,” said Mihaela Dragus, a police officer with Romania’s National Agency Against Trafficking in Persons.
Var det inte en svartsjuk pojkvän till ett av offren (som egentligen var med Andrew Tate frivilligt) som bad om hjälp från amerikanska myndigheter? Vad hände med det? Det låter på Andrew Tates advokat som att det inte stämmer. Konstigt det här.
Citat:
Like Ms. Tabusca, Mr. Tate’s lawyer attributed what he described as the unexpected zeal of the Romanian authorities against his client to American intervention, which he said had begun last year after the mother of a young woman from Florida started worrying that Mr. Tate had taken her daughter captive and asked the State Department to do something.
The mother’s appeal, the lawyer said, led the American authorities to request help from Romania and prompted the opening of a criminal investigation in April last year — soon after the daughter told her mother that she was in Romania and living in Mr. Tate’s compound.
Är kvinnorna som försvarat Tate hjärntvättade? Psykiatrisk utredning som gjorts som del av brottsutredningen verkar ha nått den slutsatsen. Är det The Matrix som manipulerar bevisen nu igen?
Citat:
Two women whom prosecutors described as victims have insisted that they associated with Mr. Tate of their own accord and were not coerced. A clinical psychologist’s report prepared as part of the case said they had been brainwashed into believing they had a genuine romantic relationship with Mr. Tate.

Mycket konstigt det här, att Tates anhängare säger andra saker än Tates egna försvarare. Att de inte håller med utredarna är föga förvånande, men hur rimmar egentligen det med att Tates försvarare uppger att Tate felbedömt rumänsk korruption och sin egen påstådda immunitet?
I fredags förlängdes husarresten ytterligare en månad. Jag som trodde att de när som helst ska släppas.
