The influencer, 37, denies all allegations
A court in Romania's capital has ruled that Andrew Tate can be tried over charges of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. The Bucharest Tribunal ruled that prosecutors' case file against Tate met the legal criteria but did not set a date for the trial to begin.
"The ruling issued by the preliminary chamber judge lacks legal basis and reasoning," Eugen Vidineac, one of the brothers' lawyers, said after the decision. "We have filed a strong appeal as we believe the ruling to be unlawful." "Although they did not receive the necessary attention in the preliminary hearing, we are confident that the appeal court judge panel will support us."
Last month, the Bucharest Tribunal extended geographical restrictions against Tate, a former professional kickboxer, stipulating he cannot leave the country. Tate had requested that he be able to travel within the European Union with the prior approval of a judge.
