Bucharest (AFP) – Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are released after three months of pre-trial detention in Romania and moved to house arrest while they continue to be investigated for allegedly “forming an organised criminal gang, human trafficking and rape”. The transfer comes after an appeals court rejected a further extension of the Tates’ detention and ordered that the pair were released with restrictions. A former professional kickboxer, Andrew Tate’s videos on social media — which often contain misogynistic and violent themes — are watched by an audience of millions, comprised predmoninantly of teenage boys.
