Influencer Andrew Tate is said to have abused young girls for sex videos. He is currently awaiting trial on bail. A court in Bucharest has now lifted a key restriction.
The British-American influencer Andrew Tate (37) and his brother Tristan (35) are waiting for their criminal trial in Romania – now they are allowed to leave the Eastern European country, but not the territory of the European Union (EU). This was decided by a court in the capital Bucharest, as a lawyer for the brothers confirmed to the news portal “libertatea.ro”. The decision is not yet legally binding, the public prosecutor can appeal against it.
The judiciary in Romania accuses the Tates and two alleged accomplices of human trafficking and rape. They are said to have forced young women to take part in commercially distributed sex videos. They used manipulation techniques to make the girls dependent on them.
Andrew Tate made a name for himself worldwide with misogynistic statements on social networks. He flaunted a luxurious lifestyle and reached millions of teenagers and young men.
The Tate brothers and their alleged accomplices were first arrested near Bucharest on December 30, 2022. Three months later, the measure was converted to house arrest. The defendants have been free since August 2023 – with the restriction that they were not allowed to leave Romania.
