Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been released from a Romanian jail into house arrest after a successful appeal against their detention in December 2021.[0]<\/a><\/sup> The brothers, along with two associates, have been under investigation for alleged rape, people trafficking, and forming an organized crime group.[1]<\/a><\/sup> The investigation began in April 2021, and since then, six women have been identified by prosecutors as victims.[1]<\/a><\/sup> Leaked court documents obtained by the BBC highlighted the evidence from alleged victims, claiming they were forced to earn \u20ac10,000 (\u00a38,800) a month on social media platforms, under the alleged threat of physical violence.[2]<\/a><\/sup> <\/p>\n

Andrew Tate, a former kickboxer, gained notoriety online for his controversial views and sexist comments, with Twitter banning him from the platform for saying women should “bear responsibility” for being sexually assaulted.[3]<\/a><\/sup> He was also removed from British TV show Big Brother in 2016 over a video that allegedly showed him attacking a woman.[4]<\/a><\/sup> However, Tate hit back, claiming the video was consensual and that he was \u201cacting out a role play.\u201d[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The brothers were arrested on December 29, 2021, along with two other suspects, and have been held in pre-trial detention ever since, which was again extended last week. Andrew Tate's Twitter account was allowed back after Elon Musk bought the company.[5]<\/a><\/sup> In January, Romanian authorities descended on a compound near Bucharest linked with the Tate brothers and towed away a fleet of luxury cars that included a Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari, and a Porsche.[6]<\/a><\/sup> Assets with an approximate value of $3.9 million were reported as seized.[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Lawyers for Mr Tate argued that keeping him in preventative custody is unnecessarily harsh when other judicial options such as house arrest are available.[3]<\/a><\/sup> A spokesperson for the Tate brothers said last week, following a previous attempt at release: “The court has decided to extend the Tate brothers\u2019 preventative arrest. We have been rendered speechless by the news.”[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Tate's investigation will continue as he remains under house arrest, after the Bucharest Court of Appeal ruled in his favor.[8]<\/a><\/sup> Andrew Tate's communications director, Mateea Petrescu, told Sky News: “They are not a flight risk, and they are not a danger to public safety; therefore, [the authorities] have decided to release them under house arrest.”[0]<\/a><\/sup> Speaking after his release, Tate said: “Freedom at last.[9]<\/a><\/sup> It's a bit emotional.[9]<\/a><\/sup> I've been in one room since last year, so it's a little bit emotional.[9]<\/a><\/sup> I wanna give respect firstly to the judges who heard us today because they were very attentive and they listened to us and let us free, so I have\u00a0to give absolute respect to them.[10]<\/a><\/sup> I have no resentment in my heart for the country of Romania or anyone else.[10]<\/a><\/sup> I just believe in the truth.[9]<\/a><\/sup> I believe in God, and the fire of truth will eventually destroy all lies, and anybody who lies on a long enough time frame will feel the sting of regret, and I believe in this.[10]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
