Andrew Tate has claimed “I’ve done nothing wrong” following his release from house arrest in Romania.
The controversial influencer has been held in Romania charged with human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group.
He was indicted in June, and held under house arrest, along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian female suspects.
But the Bucharest Court of Appeal said in a written ruling that Tate and his brother’s house arrest will be replaced with a “judicial control” for 60 days until the start of October.
The pair will be limited to travel within Bucharest and the surrounding Ilfov County.
Speaking after the hearing, Tate said: “We’ve been completely innocent since the beginning of this and I have absolute faith in the Romanian judicial for finally making the right decision and setting us free.
“I’m sure in the end we will be absolutely exonerated.
“I’ve done nothing wrong, God knows I’ve done nothing wrong, I know in my heart I’ve done nothing wrong.”
Tate was indicted in June along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian female suspects over alleged human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
The Tate brothers are accused of tricking seven women into sexual exploitation on fake promises of a relationship or marriage – a technique authorities have labelled the “loverboy method”.
It is alleged that the Tate brothers, along with the two Romanian female suspects, formed the group in 2021 to commit human trafficking in Romania and other countries – including the US and UK.

The brothers were first arrested at a property in Bucharest in December last year and held in custody until March – when they were released under house arrest.
The former professional kickboxer has repeatedly claimed Romanian prosecutors have no evidence and alleged the case is a political conspiracy designed to silence him.
Tate, who has been based mainly in Romania since 2017, is an online influencer who has amassed millions of followers, particularly among young men.
