Romanian Court Reinstates Travel Ban on Andrew Tate and Co-Defendants

The decision prevents the influencer and his associates from leaving Romania as they await trial for serious criminal charges.

Andrew Tate, his brother Tristan, and two Romanian women face charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang.
A previous ruling had allowed the defendants to travel within the EU, which has now been overturned by the Bucharest Court of Appeals.
The Tate brothers, former kickboxers, were initially detained in December 2022 and have been under various forms of judicial control since.
Prosecutors challenged the earlier decision, leading to the reinstatement of the travel ban by the court.
The defendants deny all allegations and claim they are victims of a political conspiracy.
