A Bucharest court has ordered the release from house arrest of the divisive internet personality Andrew Tate, who is awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking.
The court has placed him under judicial control, a lighter restrictive measure.
The Bucharest court of appeals said in a written ruling that it “replaces the house arrest measure with that of judicial control for a period of 60 days from August 4 until October 2”.
Tate was indicted in June along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian female suspects for human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
