Romania has eased travel restrictions on Andrew Tate, the divisive social media influencer awaiting trial in Romania on charges of human trafficking and rape. A Bucharest court on July 5 maintained judicial control over Tate, his brother Tristan, and two Romanian women, but the latest court decision lifted the restriction and allowed them to travel throughout the European Union. The decision can be challenged by prosecutors within two days of notice. Andrew and Tristan Tate, former kickboxers with dual U.S. and British citizenship, are accused of forming an organized criminal group, human trafficking, and rape. They have denied the allegations. They were in custody from the end of December 2022 to April 2023 but were later placed on house arrest pending trial. To read the original story by RFE/RL’s Romanian Service, click here.
