Police had confiscated luxury cars, cash, and other belongings from the Tate property in Voluntari. Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested on 29 December 2022 as a result of the DIICOT (Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism) inquiry on charges of human trafficking and intention to form an organized crime group. Romanian police stated that the two brothers and their associates coerced victims for creating a paid pornography service for social media platforms. The trial itself has not started yet, as the appeal court judges sent the case back to DIICOT prosecutors by a decision made at the end of 2024. In a social media post from 06 January 2025, Tate brothers announced their intention to create a new political party in UK called Britain Restoring Underlying Values (BRUV). EPA/Robert Ghement

Tate and brother Tristan are not completely free yet and they must remain in Romania on probation.

In a statement, the brothers’s lawyers said: “In a crucial legal decision, the Romanian courts have today lifted the house arrest imposed on Andrew Emory Tate, replacing it with judicial control (probation).

“This ruling marks a decisive step forward, granting Andrew the freedom to travel throughout Romania while adhering to the required legal conditions.

“This comes a month after the Judge refused to send the first file to trial resulting it being sent back to the prosecutors.

“Once again, this decision highlights the Romanian justice system’s commitment to fairness and transparency, showcasing its dedication to upholding due process and the rule of law.”
