Romania: Court lifts restrictions on Andrew Tate amid human trafficking investigation

A Romanian court has decided to lift all judicial control measures imposed on Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, who remain under investigation for human trafficking and other charges. This decision marks a new development in a highly publicized case.

The two men had been subject to judicial restrictions since their arrest in December 2022 by the Romanian prosecutor's office specializing in combating organized crime. They were initially held in pretrial detention for several months before their situation was gradually eased.

In 2023, the Bucharest Court of Appeal initially placed them under house arrest, then imposed obligations for regular check-ins with the authorities. The complete lifting of these measures now means they are no longer subject to these constraints, although the investigation continues.

The accusations relate in particular to alleged acts of human trafficking, a case that has attracted strong international attention due to the notoriety of Andrew Tate, a controversial figure on social media.

The Romanian authorities have not indicated a timeline for the next steps in the proceedings. The court's decision does not prejudge the outcome of the investigation, which could still lead to formal charges or the dismissal of the charges.
