Romanian Court Lifts Judicial Controls on Andrew Tate Amid Ongoing Probe

A Romanian court has removed all preventative judicial control measures imposed on internet personality Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan while criminal investigations against them continue. The ruling ends requirements such as regular police check-ins that had been in place following their detention in late 2022 over allegations including human trafficking. The decision is final and cannot be appealed, according to the court.

The brothers were initially held in police custody for several months before restrictions were gradually eased to house arrest and later judicial supervision. They have consistently denied all accusations. Their defence lawyer said the ruling supports their long-standing claim that the case relied on questionable evidence and argued that the court’s decision restores fundamental legal protections.

Although restrictions have now been lifted, prosecutors are continuing investigations related to alleged organised crime, trafficking offences, and money laundering involving the Tates and other suspects. Earlier court decisions had returned parts of the case to prosecutors after excluding certain evidence deemed inadmissible. The brothers also face a British arrest warrant and could be extradited following the conclusion of Romanian legal proceedings.
