A court in Romania has placed divisive Internet influencer Andrew Tate under house arrest and his brother Tristan under judicial control for 30 days after they were interrogated by Romanian anti-corruption prosecutors as part of an investigation into new allegations against them. The court's decision came after Romania's anti-organized crime agency DIICOT asked that Tate and his brother Tristan be remanded in custody for 30 days. The brothers' spokeswoman said the judge cited the brothers' “exemplary behavior" while under previous court orders in deciding not to keep them in custody. "The Tate brothers welcome the decision and strongly deny all the allegations brought against them," Mateea Petrescu said in a statement. The new allegations include forming an organized criminal group and child trafficking. To read the original story on RFE/RL's Romanian Service, click here.
