Andrew Tate avoids house arrest in the case involving the sexual exploitation of 34 women.
The Bucharest Tribunal rejected on Tuesday the proposal to extend house arrest for Andrew Tate. The house arrest will be replaced with judicial control.
The decision is not final and can be contested within 48 hours of communication.
The representatives of the Tate brothers stated that this decision grants Andrew the freedom to travel within Romania.
"In a crucial legal decision, the Romanian courts today decided to lift the house arrest imposed on Andrew Emory Tate, replacing it with judicial control. This ruling marks a decisive step, granting Andrew the freedom to travel within Romania, respecting the legal conditions imposed. This comes just a month after the judge refused to send the first case to trial, leading to its return to DIICOT due to the multiple irregularities noted by the judges in the case," the Tate brothers' team conveyed.
The representatives of the two brothers also stated that Andrew Tate will continue to cooperate and respect justice.
"Once again, this decision highlights the commitment of the Romanian judicial system to fairness and transparency, demonstrating its dedication to upholding due process and the rule of law. We welcome this outcome as a reflection of the progress made within the legal framework in Romania. Andrew Tate and his team remain dedicated to full cooperation and respect for justice," the Tate brothers' team further stated.
The prosecutors allege that the brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate and the members of the criminal group formed around them recruited, starting in 2015, 34 women whom they forced to produce pornographic materials that were distributed for a fee on specialized platforms.
"The benefits obtained by the defendants from the sexual exploitation of the victims were estimated at over 2,800,000 US dollars and 887,000 tokens," investigators claim.
