Romanian Court Lifts Judicial Controls on Andrew Tate Amid Ongoing Probe

By 107 0

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.

Andrew Tate can freely depart from Romania, but not the EU

By 676 0

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are now allowed to leave Romania but must remain within the EU, according to a ruling by a Bucharest court. Previously prohibited from leaving Romania while awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, the brothers deny all allegations. This decision, which the court may appeal, is seen by the brothers as a “significant victory and major step forward” in their case.

Their lawyer, Eugene Vidineac, praised the ruling as a “reflection of the exemplary behaviour and assistance” of his clients. He stated that Andrew and Tristan are determined to clear their names and reputations and are thankful to the courts for their trust.

Andrew Tate, who was previously banned from social media platforms for misogynistic views, posted on X (formerly Twitter), claiming that the “sham case is falling apart.” The Tate brothers, both former kickboxers and dual UK-US nationals, are accused of exploiting women through an adult content business that prosecutors allege operated as a criminal group. Alongside them, two female Romanian associates were also indicted, with seven alleged victims identified.

Andrew Tate insists that Romanian prosecutors lack evidence and asserts a conspiracy against him. The internet personalities are also wanted in the UK for alleged sexual offences. Over the past two years, the brothers faced movement restrictions, including police custody from December 2022 to April 2023, followed by house arrest until August, when they were placed under judicial control.
