Andrew Tate freed from house arrest after five months

Controversial online influencer Andrew Tate has been released from house arrest by a Romanian court, pending the outcome of a criminal investigation, his spokesman has said.

He has instead been put under judicial control, meaning he can travel through Romania “while adhering to the required legal conditions”, the spokesman added.

Tate, 38, is facing allegations of trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering, alongside his brother Tristan. Both have strongly denied the charges.

The spokesman added: “Andrew Tate and his team remain committed to full cooperation and the pursuit of justice.”
