PUNCH reports that the Romanian police arrested Andrew alongside his brother, Tristan Tate, on December 29, 2022. They were charged for rape, human trafficking and involvement in organised crime.
Two other women alleged to be accomplices, Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu, were also arrested in the operation.
Tate’s arrest came days after a Twitter spat with climate change activist, Greta Thunberg. During the spar, Tate posted a video where he posed alongside a pizza box, which hinted Romanian authorities about his location.
After several applications for bail were declined by the court, Tate’s lawyers appealed the decision. On Friday, a Court of Appeal seated in Bucharest ruled that the Tate brothers and their two alleged accomplices should be released from prison, and thereafter be placed under house arrest, Daily Mail reports.
The four are to be detained in their homes, and cannot exit the building except they are granted permission by the court.
