Tate was pictured making a mysterious hand signal as he arrived at court in Bucharest this morning handcuffed to his brother.
But the court rejected his appeal against a judge's decision last week to extend his arrest a third time for 30 days, Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romanias anti-organised crime agency DIICOT, said.
The brothers have already lost two previous appeals against prior 30-day extensions that have kept them behind bars while investigations continued.
Lawyers urged a court to grant them bail at a hearing last Monday, but judges ruled it was necessary to extend warrants for the brothers' detention again.
