Andrew Tate, the controversial former kickboxer, and his brother Tristan will be moved out of jail and placed under house arrest in Romania, amid an ongoing criminal probe into allegations of organized crime, human trafficking and rape.
The move was ordered by a Romanian court on Friday, CNN affiliate Antena 3 and agencies reported. The Tate brothers – who deny the allegations – were detained in the country in December 2022, but have not yet been formally charged. Romanian police alleged last year that the brothers and others had formed an organized criminal group that stretched from Romania to Britain and the United States for the purpose of human trafficking, Antena 3 reported at the time.
At least six victims were allegedly “sexually exploited by the organized criminal group,” according to a statement by Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism . Authorities also allege that one of the suspects raped a victim on two separate occasions in March 2022. The brothers have insisted on their innocence. “There’s no evidence in my file because I’ve done nothing wrong.

Tate, 36, a British-U.S. citizen who has 5.4 million Twitter followers, was initially detained in December in Romania’s capital Bucharest, along with his brother and two Romanian women.
