Ex-Kickboxer Andrew Tate released on house arrest after being detained in Romanian jail since December

Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate are set to be released after being detained since December.

Andrew Tate has spent the past few months behind bars in a Romanian jail on suspicion of rape, human trafficking, and organized crime. Tate’s lawyers successfully appealed that keeping their client, and three other individuals including Tate’s brother, was especially harsh considering alternative options, including house arrest. The Bucharest Court of Appeal ruled in favor of Tate shortly after another judge had extended his incarceration for a fourth time last week.
