Jan-30-23  Ron: Emory Tate’s son Andrew Tate is in the news. The Wikipedia article on Andrew Tate has a good account of the criminal prosecution against him:

Premium Chessgames Member
  Williebob: The last line in that Wiki section on Andrew's Romanian adventure: "As of 23 January 2023, no charges have yet been filed."

He and his business partners have been detained there for over a month now.
Jan-30-23  stone free or die: Unfortunately for the two Tates, Romanian law is quite permissive in the duration allowed - a detention can be extended to up to 180 days:

<After an initial 24-hour pre-trial detention, the judge prolonged their detention by 30 days. The Tates appealed the extension, but the appeal was rejected on January 10. <Under Romanian law, it can be prolonged for a maximum of 180 days.>>

According to wiki (see above).

At least the Tate's have money enough for good legal representation.

  FSR: The Wikipedia article on him quotes his son Emory Andrew Tate III (now a famous alleged international sex criminal) as saying, "I never saw him study chess books, ever." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emory... This surprised me, as I knew Emory a little in his early years, when he spoke reverentially of Vladimir Vukovic 's "The Art of Attack in Chess." (This inspired me to read and study the book carefully some years later.) Jesse Kraai calls it "the only book Emory Tate ever actually studied"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNS... (at 35:45). David Pruess cackles.

  FSR: Dr. Daaim Shabazz, Tate's biographer and author of "The Chess Drum" blog, discusses Tate and his sons Andrew and Tristan in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udn... (starting at 13:00).
Feb-23-23  SChesshevsky: <...never saw him study chess books, ever...>

Wondering if Emory had some sort of extraordinary memory? Where he could view chess related material, remember it, and just run through it in his mind.

Looks as though he clearly had some expertise in chess theory, given his use of the Yugoslav v. Dragon and Velimirovic in some of the earliest games from the db.

  saffuna: <Dr. Daaim Shabazz, Tate's biographer and author of "The Chess Drum" blog, discusses Tate and his sons Andrew and Tristan in this video:>

Shabazz's discussion would make more sense if he didn't just refer to Andrew and Tristan as controversial social media figures. He might have mentioned they are under arrest for sex trafficking.

Feb-23-23
Premium Chessgames Member
  Williebob: <saffuna>, while I am no admirer of sleaze merchants, it would appear that the Tate brothers have met their match with the Romanian authorities. Another 30 days detention without charges. The allegations certainly sound monstrous, claiming coercion, intimidation and physical violence, but apparently there is little evidence.

Never discount the possibility that all parties in such stories, including the tabloid media which plays along for maximum impact, can be sleazy and dishonest people. Andrew did say he preferred doing his business in Romania due to their narrow legal protections against sexual assault.
May-04-23  stone free or die: An update - a little late, but from early April came this announcement:

<<<Andrew Tate released from detention and moved to house arrest in Romania>

A Bucharest court of appeal ruled in favor of the controversial social media influencer and his brother, who have spent months in a Romanian jail under accusations of human trafficking and rape.>

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother were released on Friday, March 31, after three months detention in Romania and moved to house arrest while they are investigated for alleged human trafficking and rape.>

So both brothers has been released from detention. Not sure what legal jeopardy remains for them....

  FSR: <Controversial influencer and former professional kickboxer Andrew Tate has reportedly been charged with rape and human trafficking offences in Romania, according to U.K. reports.

The BBC reported Tate, who was arrested by Romanian anti-terrorism authorities last December, has also been charged with “forming organised crime group to sexually exploit women.”

According to the indictment Tate and three others have been engaging in human trafficking in Romania as well as the U.S. and the U.K.

Tate’s brother Tristan has also reportedly been charged alongside two other suspects. The brothers are understood to have been under house arrest in Bucharest, Romania since March.

On Tuesday morning, Romanian prosecutors charged the brothers, who are now set to face trial.> https://variety.com/2023/digital/gl...
