Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested on charges of rape and human trafficking on December 29 in Bucharest, Romania. Tate has allegedly employed up to 75 women in his webcam business, and they have accused him of kidnapping and forcing them to engage in sexual activities.
Due to his alleged involvement in organized crime and human trafficking, the controversial influencer was recently granted an additional 30-day prison sentence in Romania.
Andrew Tate has enlisted the services of seasoned attorney Tina Glandian to spearhead his case. Among the many high-profile cases that Glandian has worked on are the prosecution of claims against Eva Longoria by her former business partners in a business dispute in Las Vegas, the defense of bribery charges against Navnoor Kang in the Southern District of New York, and the Bulos Zumot murder and arson trial in San Jose.
In the latest developments, Tina Glandian disclosed in a recent interview on the PBD Podcast that the U.S. Embassy rejected her request for assistance in the ongoing Andrew Tate trial:
"Who I did call when I was in Bucharest was the U.S. embassy to see if I could get assistance with this.... But they pretty much just differed me to my Romanian Council and said that I have to work with them and follow the procedure that they recommend. Ultimately, they weren't really much help in me trying to achieve that."
Glandian elaborated on whether Tate's history of allegedly exposing the power structure and unashamed political stance had anything to do with his protracted detention:
"I would certainly think that in a case that did not involve Andrew Tate, that the U.S. embassy would have been more helpful if it involved a U.S. citizen."

Andrew Tate's lawyer shed light on the web cam business
A British woman, whose identity has been concealed, revealed that she was in a relationship with Andrew Tate. She disclosed to the BBC that he grew abusive and controlling after persuading her to work for his webcam company.
The Tate brothers earned their first million dollars through an adult webcam studio where they employed their girlfriends as models for paying customers. This has become the root of the ongoing human trafficking charges against Tate.
Tate's lawyer Tina Glandian addressed the charges in the aforementioned podcast, stating:
"I have a great deal of optimism in where this will end as far as what's currently being investigated. In all this time that has passed, there has been no new evidence, no new alleged victims, nothing new to support this case. I think they're going to push this preventative arrest because they can for now while they're looking for evidence."
