Internet influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan will no longer be allowed to leave Romania as they await trial on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, following a July 16 court ruling. The Tates “will fully comply with the Court’s decision as well as the obligations included in the judicial control,” said the brothers’ lawyer, Eugen Vidineac. The ruling overturned a July 5 decision that the brothers could leave Romania if they remained within the European Union. The brothers were arrested in December 2022 along with two Romanian women on suspicion of human trafficking. All four deny the charges.
