evidence: Was Andrew Tate, who was arrested in late 2022 on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and participating in organized crime, released as of February 22, 2023? No, that's not true: The former kickboxing champion and internet influencer remains behind bars after a Romanian court ruled to extend his detention by another 30 days, according to Ramona Bolla, a spokeswoman for Romania's Directorate for Investigation Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT). Tate is expected to be held in custody until at least the end of March 2023. The claim appeared in a post on Instagram published on February 21, 2023. The post included a video of Tate exiting a building and text that read: "Andrew's Official Release From Prison..." The post's caption read: [...] Lead Stories has debunked several claims about Tate. For example, we showed he was not arrested because of a speech he gave about the "matrix" -- a rigged societal system he claims is designed to benefit only the rich. We also proved that he was still in detention as of January 3, 2023 and had not been found guilty and sentenced to 14 years in prison as of January 24, 2023. See here for all of our debunks on Tate.
