Former kickboxing world champion and influencer Andrew Tate has been released on house arrest from Bucharest jail, today.

Sources close to Valuetainment confirmed that Tate, 36 along with his brother and two alleged female accomplices have been released amid the ongoing investigation into alleged human trafficking, rape and gang-related crimes.

The brothers and women were arrested and detained by Romanian anti-organized crime prosecutors back on Dec. 29 on the suspicion of several offenses and organized crime group activity, exploiting victims. With no formal charges set, Tate and his brother have been imprisoned in a Romanian jail for nearly three months.

Both brothers have repeatedly denied allegations and claimed Romanian prosecutors have no evidence, and alleged their case is a political conspiracy designed to silence Andrew.

The British-US citizen who has 5.4 million Twitter followers and has lived in Romania since 2017, lost an appeal against further detention close to a month ago.

An order from an appeals court in Bucharest said it “rejects the proposal to extend the duration of the preventive arrest measure, regarding the defendants. [The court] replaces the measure of preventive detention ordered against the defendants, with the preventive measure of house arrest, for a period of 30 days.”

The document concluded that it “orders the immediate release of the defendants.” All four have been ordered to remain in the buildings where they live unless judicial order permits them to leave.

DIICOT said in a statement after the December arrests that it had identified six victims in the human trafficking case who were allegedly subjected to “acts of physical violence and mental coercion” and sexually exploited by members of the alleged crime group.

Tate remains under house arrest until April 29.
