or he did not pay his weekly bribe and the police decided to charge him sans evidence. the g20 here had thousands of illegal detentions and many police assaulting innocents yet i trust them more than the Romanians (which for all i know are the best cops in the world with an unfair rep)
So let's play this out. Tate doesn't fork over the required amount of dosh. The cops warn him and give him a further deadline. Tate says he's sick of their shit and dares them to do anything about it.
So the cops arrest him and it's on the news. What happens next......
Tate agrees to pay the bribe. What else is he going to do at this point?.... The cops have called his bluff and upped the stakes. So Tate has to fold. He gets his manager to e-transfer $50,000 to the cops.
What do the cops do?..... They flip a couple of Thousand $$$$ to the prosecutor's office and tell the prosecutor to agree to Tate getting out on bail. Prosecutor and defence appear before the judge and Tate gets bail.
(This has emphatically NOT happened, right?)
Tate skips bail and drives across the Hungarian border. Romanian authorities facilitate the flight. Hungarian border guards are paid off as well. Tate flies from Budapest back to Heathrow. Romanians deliberately fuck up and delay the paperwork to stop him.
6 months later, those 3 Romanian girls disappear and the English and American girls are found guilty of convenient Romanian crimes and deported from Romania. So there are no witnesses in Romania and the charges are all dropped. Tate struts back to Romania and thereafter pays his bribes on time and in the required amount. Tate and the Romanians are happy.
