The Tate Brothers case was just passed as WEAK & CIRCUMSTANTIAL by a judge.
He has been released from house arrest but has to remain in the country of Romania.
On Friday, a Bucharest court ordered the release of polarising online personality Andrew Tate from home arrest, where he is awaiting trial on allegations of human trafficking, and placed him under judicial monitoring, a less stringent measure.
In a written judgement, the Bucharest Court of Appeals stated that it “replaces the house arrest measure with that of judicial control for a period of 60 days from August 4 until October 2.”
For the unversed, the controversial social media personality was arrested back in December along with his brother Tristan along with two female suspects in suspicion of human trafficking, organised crime and rape.
While they have vehemently denied the charges, the case was handled under Romania’s Bucharest court’s preliminary chamber.
Tate’s tweet prompted fierce backlash and comes as the influencer enters his sixth month locked in his house over sex trafficking and rape charges.
Tate, who was arrested on December 29 in Bucharest and has denied the allegations, has lost a series of appeals against his house arrest – and today he hopes that might change. But his spokesperson told MailOnline that any decision on the appeal has been delayed until August 4.
‘I am in the Bucharest Court of Appeal to find out if I will be detained for a ninth month,’ Tate wrote on Twitter today. ‘Three months in jail, six months locked in my house.’
After spending three months in police detention in Bucharest, the Tate brothers won an appeal on March 31 to be moved to house arrest.
Under Romanian law, a judge has 60 days to examine the case and its processes.
Earlier this week the two had appealed the decision not to remain under house arrest during their trial. Following news of the Tate brothers’ release from house arrest, Andrew took to Twitter to update his fanbase about his whereabouts.
In his first statement after his release he revealed that the judge deemed his case as week, leading to the decision.
“After 10 months. 3 in jail, 7 at home. After 15million euro of asset seizures. After an incitement based on nothing. The file was passed to a Judge who has ruled it weak and circumstantial,” he said.
As to Andrew’s current whereabouts, he shared that he was to remain in Romania but was heading to a mosque, in his first taste of freedom.
“I have been released from house arrest but must remain within Romania. Now. To the Mosque. Alhamdulillah.”
They are appealing against a court decision made last month to keep the brothers under house arrest for a further 30 days.
Their appearance at the Court of Appeal in Bucharest came after the influencer was formally charged with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to exploit women in June. Tristan and two Romanian women were charged with human trafficking.
It also comes hours after Tate made a misogynistic remark about a picture of Britain’s Got Talent Star Amanda Holden wearing a bikini while on holiday.
Tate, who has been described as the ‘king of toxic masculinity’, responded to Ms Holden’s tweet featuring a photograph of her taking a shower in a bikini by writing: ‘You are a wife and a mother and you’re far past a teenager. There is no need for this post.’
