The biggest challenge Andrew Tate faces in his human-trafficking case is likely Tate himself, a Romanian lawyer told Insider.
Stefan Loredan, who practices in Dubai but has followed Tate's case closely, predicted that Tate's own statements describing recruiting women for his webcam business would be a huge challenge should he go on trial.
Romanian police are investigating Tate, his brother Tristan, and two Romanian women. The group are accused of forming a criminal group that manipulated women into making porn for their online business.
All four are being held in jail until the end of January after a judge denied their appeal to be released. Tate's lawyer has said he and Tristan are innocent.
Loredan told Insider that Tate had hired one of the best defense attorneys in the country, Loredan, but may still struggle.
Tate's public persona, he said, will mean it's "very hard for the lawyers to defend them."
"The problems are themselves," Loredan said of those charged. "It's mainly because they've been incriminating themselves through the social-media content that they've been creating in the last two to three years."
Here's some of the claims Tate has made about his lifestyle and businesses.
