Andrew Tate released from detention and moved to house arrest in Romania

Bucharest Court of Appeal rules in favour of divisive social media influencer who has spent months in a Romanian jail

Andrew Tate, the divisive social media influencer who has spent months in a Romanian jail on suspicion of organised crime and human trafficking, has won an appeal to replace his detention with house arrest.

The Bucharest court of appeal ruled in favour of Tate’s appeal, which challenged a judge’s decision last week to extend his arrest a fourth time for 30 days, Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romania’s anti-organised crime agency, DIICOT, said Friday.
