BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Andrew Tate, the divisive social media influencer awaiting trial in Romania on charges of human trafficking and rape, lost an appeal Thursday to have the court relax geographical restrictions preventing him from traveling outside the eastern European country.

The Bucharest Court of Appeal ruled against Tate, who had challenged a May 10 decision that extended by 60 days restrictions on the 37-year-old stipulating he may not leave the country. Tate had requested that he be able to leave Romania, provided he stay within Europe’s ID-check-free Schengen zone, which Romania partially joined in March.

    Just being convicted would be enough for me so I could rub that in one of my friends’ face who’s been saying that he’s misunderstood and a nice guy.

    He doesn’t believe he’s guilty and rather believes that it’s a bunch of crazy women out after him for fame and money.

      If the Trump conviction is any indicator, the conviction will only bring more excuses from Tate’s fans.
