The former kickboxing world champion is in for a shock when his lavish lifestyle is replaced by life in a Romanian prison, which have been described as a ‘cockroach-ridden hellhole’ where prisoners are ‘abused by guards’.
Andrew Tate is used to living the high life but saw his Romanian mansion raided by Romanian police on Thursday night and now faces being locked up for 30 days.
The former kickboxing star was arrested with younger brother Tristan and their lawyer’s request for them to be released from prison was rejected on Friday.
The pair are now set to be taken to one of
A report by the Council of Europe’s Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment gave a damning verdict of what Tate can expect in prison.
The report read: ‘Material conditions in all the prisons visited were generally poor.
‘With cells dilapidated, lacking equipment (storage space, tables and chairs), and mattresses and bedding worn out and infested with bed bugs and cockroaches.
‘Many complaints were received about the very limited access to hot water as well as in respect of the insufficient in-cell heating in winter.’
The pair were arrested on Thursday in connection with an investigation into alleged human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group.
They could face a hostile welcome in prison, if the Council of Europe’s Committee report is correct.
It adds: ‘A considerable number of allegations of physical ill-treatment of prisoners by prison staff were received.
‘The report details several allegations of physical ill-treatment including sexual abuse by staff and raises serious concerns over the lack of recording of injuries by the health-care service and failures to investigate allegations effectively.’
Both brothers deny the allegations against them and are expected to appeal against the decision to hold them in custody again next week, Mirror confirmed.
