BUCHAREST (Reuters) – Andrew Tate, a controversial internet personality, has been released from house arrest while awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking. The Bucharest Court of Appeals ruled on Friday to place Tate under judicial control, which is a less restrictive measure. The ruling states that Tate will be under judicial control for a period of 60 days, from August 4 until October 2.
In June, Tate was indicted along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian female suspects for human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang for the purpose of sexually exploiting women.
This decision by the Bucharest court marks a change in Tate’s confinement conditions, where he will now be subject to the terms and conditions of judicial control instead of house arrest. It is unclear what specific measures will be imposed during this period of judicial control.
Andrew Tate, known for his controversial online presence, has faced criticism and backlash for his views and actions in the past. This recent legal case has only added to the controversy surrounding him.
Further updates on the trial and the progress of the case are yet to be announced.
