Romanian court rules to keep Andrew Tate under house arrest as human trafficking case continues

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A court in Romania’s capital on Tuesday ruled to extend by another 30 days the house arrest of Andrew Tate, the divisive social media influencer who is charged with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

The decision at the Bucharest Tribunal comes a month after prosecutors formally indicted the 36-year-old social media star along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian women in the same case. All four defendants — who were arrested in late December near Bucharest and have denied the allegations against them — will remain under house arrest for 30 more days.

Outside the court on Monday, Tate told journalists that “the moral arc of the universe bends towards justice in the end.”

The Tate brothers, who are dual U.K.-U.S. citizens, will likely appeal against Tuesday’s ruling. The Tates lost their last appeal on July 6 against a prior house arrest extension.

1. House arrest is too nice. This guy is

pure evil.

I do hope they have forbidden him
from using social media.

3. At least he did get 3 months in the slammer before house arrest

I hope he has to return to that slammer and soon…..

2. Hopefully he will get a surprising jolt from that moral arc.
