Controversial influencer Andrew Tate shifts from house arrest to judicial control amidst serious allegations.
Andrew Tate, the divisive online influencer, has been released from house arrest by a Romanian court, his spokesman confirmed. The ruling allows Tate, who is facing multiple serious allegations, to be under judicial control, granting him the freedom to travel within Romania under stipulated legal guidelines.
At the age of 38, Tate is embroiled in a multitude of accusations, including sex trafficking and sexual conduct with a minor, alongside his brother, Tristan Tate, who also denies any wrongdoing. A spokesman for Tate stated, "Andrew Tate and his team remain committed to full cooperation and the pursuit of justice."
The legal troubles for the Tate brothers began in August when Romanian prosecutors initiated a secondary investigation concerning their alleged involvement in trafficking minors among other crimes. They all strongly reject these charges, claiming innocence.
Before this recent ruling, the Court of Appeals in Bucharest placed a hold on a separate case involving the brothers that revolved around charges of human trafficking and creating an organized group for the sexual exploitation of women. The court indicated that this case could not proceed until further investigation.
In addition to their legal issues in Romania, the Tates face accusations from UK authorities, including allegations of rape and human trafficking, prompting police to seek their extradition. A Romanian judge previously indicated that this extradition request will be addressed after related cases in Romania conclude.
Complications have also arisen from tax evasion allegations in the UK, where a British court recently ruled that police are entitled to seize over £2 million ($2.4 million) from the Tates for failing to pay taxes on £21 million accrued from their online business ventures. Andrew Tate dismissed the ruling, accusing authorities of orchestrating a targeted attack against him.
Known for his contentious views on women, Tate has previously been banned from various social media platforms for his statements. The former kickboxer, who has amassed millions of followers online, has been residing in Romania after spending considerable time in the UK.
