Andrew Tate has been vocal about the conditions of his prison cell in Romania - and the latest pest to invade it appears to be supernatural.
The former kickboxer, 36, has been detained since December 2022 after he and his brother Tristan and two others were arrested in connection with an investigation into alleged human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group.
They were initially due to be held for 30 days, however, their confinement has been extended twice, meaning they are being held until the end of March while police build their case.
Tate has previously taken to social media to tell his followers that he had been living with "cockroaches, lice, and bed bugs" but now it seems he has another cell-mate to contend with too - a ghost.
Tate took to Twitter to reveal that he had apparently been battling spirits in his cell, writing: "I was awoken last night by an icy chill and identified a ghost in my prison cell.
"He was terrified and begged me not to annihilate him. I sent him back to hell with a message for the demons. I am always ready."
Tate had previously spoken about sharing his cell with some other unsavory inmates, explaining in an email to his subscribers: "They are trying to break me. Thrown inside a cell without light. Cockroaches, lice, and bed bugs are my only friends at night."
He added: "They are trying to break my Iron Mind with unjust imprisonment. My absolute respect for everyone around me is my act of absolute rebellion. They cannot break me," he said, before claiming that the prison guards know he is "innocent".
Following Tate's arrest, police raided his property and seized money, weapons, and designer watches, as well as removed his luxury car collection.
As formal charges have not been filed, neither Tate nor his brother have entered plea deals while their defense attorney Constantin Ioan Gliga slammed the extended jail ruling as "unjustified and totally exaggerated," contending that they are being penalized for their views rather than "what they actually did in their private lives," per The New York Post.
Tate also maintained his innocence, telling his follower on Twitter on January 19 that police will "never find [any evidence] because we are not guilty".
"They have and will continue to ignore and throw away any and all testimony or hard evidence we are innocent," he continued. "My case isn’t about the truth. This is about Politics."
Before his detainment in prison was extended for a second time, Tate had also tweeted: "My Legal team has done a fantastic job today.
"As of today, the Judges have been given a very close understanding of the Truth behind the allegations against me. True colors were brought to light."
He concluded: "Inshallah, I will be freed."
