Misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate, currently being held in Romania on suspicion of organized crime and human trafficking, confirmed today that he has a “dark spot on his lung” that is “most likely a tumour.”

Misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate (pictured Feb. 27), who is currently being held in Romania on suspicion of organized crime and human trafficking, confirmed today that he has a “dark spot on his lung” that is “most likely a tumor.”
However, Romanian officials have said that Tate will receive any medical treatment in Romania.
A spokesman for Andrew Tate told MailOnline: ‘Andrew was made aware of his serious condition before his arrest, after attending a consultation in Dubai.
As he could not be monitored by his chosen medical team in Dubai, this meant that he was taken to a local Romanian clinic during his detention.
No official diagnosis has been confirmed and he is in good shape and remains strong. His doctors have asked him to return to Dubai for further examination. Andrew did not demand this.
“This is not a health issue to be taken lightly and every effort is being made to ensure he receives the best medical care available to him.”
It came after the Romanian news site spy news said it retrieved Tate’s medical records from both Romania and Dubai.
His most recent visit to the hospital was in December last year when he went to Dubai and underwent a chest X-ray on December 5. In December, he returned to the hospital for a CT scan, the publication said, citing the documents.
Tate was due to fly to Dubai in January this year for an emergency bronchoscopy and biopsy of the lesion in his lung, but he and Tristan were arrested in December.
His doctor wrote in a letter and medical report that an “urgent investigation” was needed into the alleged lesion in Tate’s lung.
The letter said: ‘His case has been discussed at our MDT (Multidisciplinary Team) meeting and he has scheduled a number of further urgent investigations and procedures including a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) CT scan, bronchoscopy and CT-guided tissue collection. biopsy.
According to the medical records, Tate has a lesion on his upper right lung – a condition that has been described as a “serious health condition.” His doctor reportedly said the lesion could be a sign of a carinoid tumor – a rare form of slow-growing cancer.
As a result, his doctors have requested that Tate, who has been held in a Romanian prison since late December on sex trafficking charges, be released from prison so that he can be admitted. treatment in Dubai.
“Time is of the essence and any further delay in the above investigations could have serious negative consequences for Andrew’s physical health.”
Another alleged medical report claimed that Tate had complained of feeling more fatigued and thirstier than usual.
Earlier this week, the Tate brothers lost their latest attempt to be released from prison, with a Romanian court upholding a third extension of their detention.
The divisive influencer will now be held for another 30 days until at least March 29, according to Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for the Romanian anti-organized crime organization DIICOT.
Bolla said prosecutors also won an appeal on Monday against a court’s decision last week to place two women also in the case under house arrest, rather than full custody. None of the four has yet been formally charged.
It is the third appeal the brothers have lost against decisions to extend their detention while the investigation is ongoing. All four will now remain in prison at least until March 29, Bolla said.
A document explaining a previous decision to keep them in prison said the judge took into account the “particular danger of the defendants” and their ability to identify victims “with heightened vulnerability, seeking better life chances” .
Tate, who has been living in Romania since 2017, was previously banned from several social media platforms for expressing misogynistic views and hate speech.
He has repeatedly claimed that Romanian prosecutors have no evidence and claimed that their case is a “political” conspiracy designed to silence him.
DIICOT said in a statement following their December arrests that it had identified six victims in the human trafficking case who suffered “acts of physical violence and mental coercion” and were sexually exploited by members of the alleged crime group.

The agency said victims were lured with pretenses of love and later intimidated, placed under surveillance and subjected to other control tactics while coerced into committing pornographic acts for the crime group’s financial gain.
Since their arrest, the brothers have reportedly demanded that prison guards bring them a PlayStation and a hairstylist, Romanian News reports. Gandul. But the pair have been turned down by officials who have rejected their demands.
Tate, who shaved his head before his arrest and proudly posed with sports cars, has apparently become frustrated with his appearance. But after two months in jail, the millionaire was seen with longer hair that thinned to reveal bald spots.
Tate reportedly complained that he couldn’t shave his head because disposable razors are not allowed in the prison and demanded that a hair stylist be brought in, which was turned down.
Tate and his brother also allegedly asked prison officials to buy them a PlayStation so they could play games in the cell they share.
When the British-American citizen demanded to know where the video game machine was, officials allegedly told him that prisoners in custody don’t play, they pray.
Meanwhile, Tate also directed his associates to recruit two right-wing politicians to help him fight allegations of rape and human trafficking while in police custody, according to wiretaps of his calls submitted to a court by Romanian prosecutors.
The internet celebrity instructed two associates to tell Romanian politicians, George Simion and Diana Iovanovici-Sosoaca, that he was being set up and that supporting him would be “very good for their careers,” according to one exchange.
“So make them clear: You’re going to get a lot of votes if Tate says you’re taking their side,” the former kickboxer said in the Jan. 28 appeal to two of his associates.

Transcripts of the tapped calls are contained in a previously unpublished court document, dated February 21, compiled by Bucharest court officials and reviewed by Reuters.
Simion, a politician in Romania’s lower house, told Reuters he was never approached by Tate or his associates, and would not publicly support Tate if asked.
The tapped calls offer a glimpse into his multifaceted attempts to defend himself while in detention, efforts that extend beyond the courtroom into the realms of politics and social media.
Also in the Jan. 28 appeal, detailed in the court document, Tate directs his associate Luke to release “party clips” on social media in which he says at least one of his alleged trafficking victims dances in Bucharest.
“Yeah, put them all over the place and say, ‘This girl says she was kidnapped when she wasn’t kidnapped,'” says Tate.
“You say you want me to discredit them, that social media is pulling hard on me, yes?” asks Luke.
“Yeah, fuck ’em,” Tate replies.
