A Romania court has lifted Andrew Tate‘s house arrest order, replacing it with a lighter precautionary measure pending the outcome of a criminal investigation, the influencer’s spokesman said Tuesday (Jan. 14).

As part of the lighter precautionary measure, known as a judicial review, Andrew Tate is required to communicate with police on a regular basis and is not allowed to contact other suspects or witnesses in his case. In addition, he cannot leave Romania.

“This decision marks a decisive step forward, giving (Tate) the freedom to travel throughout Romania while complying with the required legal requirements,” his spokesmen said.

Andrew Tate had been under house arrest since last August, when prosecutors opened a new criminal investigation against him, his brother Tristan and four other suspects. They face charges of forming a criminal organization, human trafficking, trafficking of minors, sexual contact with a minor and money laundering. All of them have denied committing any offences.

The Tate brothers, with dual US and British citizenship, are the most prominent suspects facing trial for human trafficking in Romania.

They also have a British arrest warrant and will be extradited after the Romanian trial concludes, a court ruled in March.
