In a Bucharest courtroom, the arc of a social media empire bent sharply toward accountability as Romanian judges rejected Andrew Tate's second appeal against detention, holding the influencer and his brother until at least late February on suspicion of organised crime and human trafficking.

Courts, it seems, are offering their answer slowly but consistently.
