The brothers are set to be detained in jail for 30 days during the investigation as their most recent appeal to be released was denied. Despite the investigation, Tate continue to post on Twitter to is 4.6 million followers.
Tate made various conspiratorial claims that ‘the Matrix’ is responsible for his arrest, claims even his lawyer Eugen Vidineac dismissed.
