 Hello, welcome to another episode of the Open Minded Thinker Show. Just yesterday, a breaking news came our way. The lawyer of Andrew Tide came up with, I think, a very bright news for everybody. The bright news is that she has a lot of evidence to prove the allegations that we're levelled against Andrew Tide and his brother or the Tide brothers to be forced. She said this to, I mean, an LBC news reporter and it will be quite interesting to look at, you know, really the story because a lot of things are flying on the internet about Andrew Tide, but this is completely valid. This is coming from LBC and we're very confident it has very good news for all of us. We pray that Andrew Tide is set free because we understand he's just been persecuted for nothing. I heard, I read a comment some few weeks ago where people said, you know, he contributes quite a lot to the Romanian Church and then by accepting Islam, some of those funding areas have been closed. So because of that, they have to go against him. So whether that's true or whether he really committed crimes, you know, we don't know about assistance now, you could see that there's a chance here that he's going to be released pretty soon. All right, let's jump right into it. So guys, Andrew Tide's new lawyer has done a new interview on radio and gave some important information about how the situation is going to play out in terms of his release on if he's going to get released. Some big news is coming in the next couple of days, she says, which will keep you posted on. So make sure you leave a like and subscribe with a notification bell, but I'll play what she said right now. Here, what do you expect to happen next? Do you expect another plea for an extension or do you expect things to come to a head pretty soon? So we're going to find out in the next several days the existing detention order expires on February 27. And if the prosecution intends to extend that for another 30 day period, they'll have to make that request soon. And then we'll have a hearing on it. Obviously, our hope is that at this point, they are released and that it's not extended. But am I optimistic about that? No. And I think an additional factor that weighs in is the tremendous amount of assets that have been seized. So almost $4 million worth of assets were seized from their residents. And unfortunately, that gives the authorities incentive to search and find evidence of some wrongdoing to be able to forfeit and keep assets of that nature. I think the seizure, let's keep in mind when the police raided their properties and searched them and seized all these items, they didn't find evidence of crime. You know, they've taken these items in the event that they are able to later on show that they're well, they say they're ongoing. They say the investigation is ongoing and the asset some of that. That's the crazy thing about it. All the stuff is getting seized in Romania and now Dubai. They're taking the Bugatti, they're taking all the luxury items, watches, money's getting seized in crypto. It could be all for nothing. And it will it be returned in the same sort of fashion instantly or would have to wait, go to things to collect here. It's going to be a huge amount of headache for the Tate brothers once this all comes to a head. And they're hoping they can prove this has all been brought with dirty money. Just look at what they're doing. They're trying to seize all his assets. So which definitely means that maybe all this witch hunt is not really about any wrongdoing. He might be just innocent. The only problem here is that they had a personal problem. They may not when assets are seized, returning those assets might not be that easy. I think they want to bankrupt him. They want to return him to a poor man because if he doesn't create content anymore, he doesn't work on his crypto business and he doesn't do other things that, you know, bring money or the cash. Obviously, when he's released from prison, if their plan go through as it did, he's going to definitely be a poor man. They say the investigation is ongoing and the assets, some of the assets they've taken are part of that investigation. Of course, but this isn't a situation where police seized things that are illegal on their face. They didn't, you know, seize contraband drugs. You know, a lot of times when there are these raids, things are taken, which are evidence of crime. In this case, there was no evidence of crime that was seized. These are assets that they're holding onto in the event that they could later prove that these are proceeds of ill-gotten gains. And again, at this point, there are not charges filed against them. And the fact that they have $4 million in assets, it gives them further incentive to detain them and continue to search for some crime so that they could try to forfeit, you know, those sizeable assets. In one of the hearings where they attempted to end the detention, the judge that refused that request said, and I quote, one of the reasons given was the particular, and I quote, the particular dangerousness of the defendants and their capacity to identify victims with an increased vulnerability in search of better life opportunities that folds into the allegations of people trafficking. Are you satisfied, as his lawyer, that if this comes to court, you have enough evidence to counter that claim? They want to tell us that undertake how to traffic people and make $400 million US, or I know the area that, you know, take into words is, you know, he's able to accumulate such amount of wealth because he engaged in a legal business like, you know, trafficking human beings for money or water, selling drugs, but so far, there's no evidence for that. In fact, there's no evidence, no critical evidence. Now, there's a document I read online just some few days ago, and that document was a transcript that shows a communication between these so-called victims. I'm not trying to downplay the trauma. So what is really keeping them in detention? We don't know. We do. We don't. At first of all, it's a little difficult because I'm not supposed to comment directly on anything that's happening in the proceedings. As of now, they're closed proceedings. But without detail, you're satisfied. You have enough evidence to counter that. I do. I don't think there's been any evidence that there are a danger to the community in terms of committing crimes. Again, I think at this point, they haven't been charged with crimes. The good news for Andrew Tate right now is how confident his lawyer seems despite how he's been treated by the Romanian system so far. We're going to get a huge update on if he's going to get released at the end of this month or detained. They can keep him up to 180 days, which will be a few months from now maximum, but I'll keep you guys posted. Leave a like and subscribe with a notification bell. You know, detaining Andrew Tate for another 102 days or 120 days. It's really not something one should smile about. Thank you so much for being part of the show today. Until next time. As-salamu alaikom.
