Are you suggesting that Tate was crossing the land border out of Romania clandestinely?

I guess I need to read up on him, I thought he was a grifter and a confidence man, getting rich of his social media influence. I thought all his criminal activity was limited to white-collar crime.

UPD: > ...Schengen... I don't think it's particularly tightly controlled.

I don't think that's right. I bet it's incredibly well controlled. That's pretty much the gateway to all other Schengen countries. There are very limited border controls within the Schengen Area, so I imagine the outer borders have to be secure.

I mean, he's just been arrested for, er, very much not white collar crime. He's just been detained for a further 30 days at the request of Romania's anti-organised crime prosecution unit. It would be, well, not unknown for people in that position to flee by means other than the official border crossing points.
