Andrew Tate LOSES bid to return to Britain after his mother suffered a heart attack: ‘The Romanian state decided she must be alone at Christmas, if she is alive’
A spokesperson for Andrew and Tristan Tate told MailOnline: ‘We regret to inform you that the Romanian court of appeals has denied Andrew and Tristan Tate’s request to travel to the UK over the holidays, which would also include a visit to their mother, who recently suffered a heart attack.
‘Andrew and Tristan have maintained an impeccable record of adhering to all restrictions and have never violated any regulations, affirming their commitment to compliance and proving that they are not a flight risk.
‘Despite this, the decision delivered by the court has left us disheartened.’
Tate revealed his mother, a former school kitchen assistant, had suffered a heart attack and was in hospital on December 21. ‘I am going to court tomorrow to request an emergency visit to London,’ he wrote in a post.
Paramedics were called to Eileen Tate’s home in Luton yesterday, just hours ahead of a crucial court hearing for Tate and his brother Tristan.
The Tate brothers have been forbidden from leaving Bucharest where they are being probed on allegations of people trafficking.
A spokesman for the brothers confirmed yesterday: ‘It is with heavy hearts that we share the urgent news that the mother of Andrew and Tristan suffered a sudden heart attack this afternoon and was immediately rushed to the hospital.
‘The situation is ongoing, and at this stage, it is our understanding that she will be undergoing emergency surgery.
‘Her discharge from the hospital is contingent on the success of this critical procedure.’
Andrew and Tristan were told last week by a judge in Bucharest they would have to remain in the country but lodged an appeal which was heard on Friday.
During the two-hour session the judge heard details of Eileen’s failing health and the brothers urged the court to let them travel to the UK for five days to be with her.
