A Romanian court has lifted the house arrest order for Andrew Tate. This change replaces the strict measure with a lighter one, allowing Tate to travel freely within Romania while the investigation continues.
Tate, his brother Tristan, and four others face serious charges. These include forming an organized criminal group, human trafficking, trafficking minors, sexual exploitation of minors, and money laundering. All the suspects deny the accusations.
In December, a Romanian court dismissed a previous case against Tate, citing errors in the indictment. This decision was a blow to Romania’s anti-organized crime unit, DIICOT. Despite this, the investigation continues.
Under the new judicial control measure, Tate must check in with police regularly. He is not allowed to contact other suspects or witnesses in the case. Tate also cannot leave Romania until the investigation ends.
The Tate brothers, former kickboxers with dual U.S. and British citizenship, are the highest-profile suspects facing trial for human trafficking in Romania. Additionally, they face a British arrest warrant and could be extradited after the Romanian trial ends.
