Andrew Tate’s detention in Romania has been extended for a third time.

The former kickboxer has been detained in a Romanian jail cell since December last year.

Prosecutors have now been permitted to extend his time behind bars for a third time, forcing him to sit in prison for yet another 30 days.

Authorities continue to build a case against him as the controversial influencer, as well as his brother Tristan and two other women are being held on suspicion of organised crime and human trafficking.

None of the four suspects have been formally charged.

DIICOT, an anti-organised crime agency from Romania, had petitioned to keep the Tate brothers in prison, according to the Associated Press.

The two women have instead been released on house arrest.

When deciding to keep Andrew and Tristan behind bars for now, the judge took into account the 'particular dangerousness of the defendants' as well as their capacity 'to exercise permanent psychological control over the victims'.

According to the BBC, lawyers for the Tate brothers said prosecutors didn't submit any new evidence to justify keeping the two locked up in detention for another 30 days.

Before the verdict, Andrew Tate claimed on Twitter that he'd recently scored a big legal win.

"My Legal team has done a fantastic job today," he said. "As of today, the Judges have been given a very close understanding of the Truth behind the allegations against me.

"True colors were brought to light."

However, following the decision to keep him behind bars he wrote: "I will meditate deeply over this decision."

The case against the Tate brothers is based on the accusation that they seduced women by falsely claiming to want a relationship or marriage.

Prosecutors claim they forced these women to make pornographic content.

Tate has also been accused of raping one of the victims in March last year.

He has denied that accusation as well as the other charges.
