The lawyer who is representing Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan in their trafficking and rape case says there’s “no evidence” proving that either of them was ever involved in such a crime.
In a recent interview with Romanian news outlet Gandul, Eugen Vidineac addressed the controversy that came with their arrest on December 29 after one of their homes was raided in connection to the ongoing investigation.
While the pair were initially expected to be held for 24 hours, that was later extended to 30 days, with law enforcement officials also arresting two other female associates.
Eugen argues that based on the information thrown against the pair, he plans to appeal their 30-day custody during their next court appearance on January 10, stressing that both Andrew and Tristan are being detained on baseless claims.
“There is not a single piece of evidence, other than the victim’s statement, that would lead to the idea that any crime of rape was committed,” he said. “From my point of view, there is no evidence there either, and I am talking about evidence that leads, by itself or directly, to the formation of an opinion.”
According to their legal rep, the Tate brothers were left feeling “scared” in court due to the language barrier as neither of them could understand the translation given to them as their charges were being read out.
