The disgraced influencer and his brother were arrested in December last year after their luxury Romanian mansion was raided by police.
The pair have reportedly been under investigation for the alleged kidnapping of two young women at their villa in the town of Voluntari.
According to a statement from Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT), the British suspects lured victims using the "loverboy method".
The men claimed they loved the women and intended to marry them, it is alleged.
DIICOT said the female victims were then taken to buildings in Ilfov County, on Bucharest's outskirts, where they were "sexually exploited by group members".
Cops said the suspects used "physical violence and mental coercion" and that victims were forced to perform in pornographic videos for dissemination on social media.
Following the arrest, a Romanian court ruled Tate would be remanded in custody for 30 days.
However, in a new ruling, the kickboxer's detention could be extended to February 27 as investigations continue.
