Andrew Tate warns of Romanian authorities potentially framing him with fabricated evidence as arrest timeline nears its close

Controversial social media personality, Andrew Tate, has been embroiled in legal trouble since December last year. Along with his younger brother Tristan Tate, Andrew was arrested in Romania on suspicion of human trafficking and rape, among other crimes.

However, despite several months of investigation and placing Tate on house arrest, Romanian authorities have yet to formally charge him. Meanwhile, the former kickboxer has maintained his innocence and recently took to Twitter, where he warned that he may be framed.

The timeline for investigators to amass enough evidence to formally charge the social media influencer is six months, and it is nearing its end. Tate expressed confidence in the lack of evidence to support the crimes he's been accused of committing.

After claiming that there is zero evidence against him, Tate outlined the possibility of Romanian authorities fabricating evidence to frame him. He further claimed that if they charged him with anything baseless, he would still need a year to combat the charges, which he claims affords them time to save face.

He further expressed his belief that investigators hope that the world at large will forget about a potential blunder if they fail to bring up any compelling evidence against him. These are bold claims, but the verdict on Andrew Tate's legal trouble remains inconclusive.
