where are you taking your "balanced journalism" from? Don't see much of it - they're either heroes or villains depending on which part of the media you read. I'm no fan of either of them but haven't seen many balanced pieces on them either.
Tate maybe be obnoxious but does seem to be very much a target for cancel culture. Most likely Tate's big mouth has got him in trouble in Romania when he was posting videos about paying politicians & policemen to keep his businesses open during COVID lockdowns - "rule" is you can do it but you don't talk about it.
If we're talking balance he hasn't been charged. There's nothing particularly unusual in several eastern EU states about wealthy foreign passport holders being held without charge on the pretense they are a flight risk. I know a UK citizen who was held for 18 months in Hungarian jails then a further 18 months under house arrest without being formally charged.

You’re wasting your time. They haven’t seen any of Tate’s videos, they just listen to what the news tells them

What are you asking me for. You’re apparently the one all over the details of the Tate case. Surely you know this already?

I do pal but you seem to know better than me. Do you think he’ll be found guilty? I very much hope he is innocent

It’s a bit more than that, clearly. And part of a much bigger investigation.

You really need to rethink your life when the only friend you have is a Tate apologist.

This is a football forum Tony it’s not a friendship group - and your only “friend” is an IRA supporter

Presumably you have seen Tate’s videos then? I look forward to your critique where you don’t support his views in these videos so I can apologise for calling you a Tate apologist. Like you’ve requested.

I don’t support him managing women’s pornography careers and taking a percentage of their earnings.

I look forward to your apology.

I was talking to a colonel from the Romanian police based in Transylvania last week- visiting my neighbours. He pointed out if they were that serious about Tate the first thing they would have done is send in the tax office commandos who have much greater powers than the police particularly as his main sources of income involve cash - the casinos and the online stuff.

That’s not what he says in his videos. You should watch them and stop listening to just what the news tells you.

Isn’t he already facing tax avoidance charges from the Romanian authorities? Separate to this arrest? Sure I read that somewhere

Yes as if he has committed crimes, it’s sad for the victims, I hope the accusations are false and no girls have been subject to trafficking. Do you hope they have?
You have a weird way of looking at things. He’s done what he’s done and we’ll find out exactly what in due course. My go to is I hope any victims of the accused get justice, your go to is I hope the accused is found innocent. Only guilty people get found guilty, not all people found innocent are innocent. Maybe it’s because I’m a father to daughters, a son to a mother, a brother to sisters and a grandson to grandmothers but the people I’m automatically more concerned about is the women in this case not a self confessed misogynist with a history of abuse towards women, unlike you. Do you not have any women in your life you respect? A mother? A sister? Maybe a grandmother? Odd that your automatic response is to go into protection mode around Tate.

all people found guilty are guilty? Really? That’s some take

So the Birmingham pub bombers were guilty?

Interesting view also that innocence can still be guilty - another Stalinist it seems

I hope the accusations are false and no girls were subjected to the horrors that are said to have taken place.

I’m not sure anyone can argue with that and I’m again not sure why this is even a discussion.

Just checked and I can confirm that Romania’s National Agency for Fiscal Administration AKA tax office commandos are involved in the investigation and have used their powers to seize $4M worth of property.

Will you be watching them at 3 Tony?
