LA TimesAndrew Tate arriving with his brother Tristan, right, at the Court of Appeals in Bucharest, Romania, in October. A court in Romania on Tuesday ruled that prosecutors’ indictment against influencer Andrew Tate contains multiple irregularities and gave them less than a week to amend or withdraw the case of alleged human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. The appeals court ruled it identified multiple flaws in the prosecutors’ case file against the Tates, saying prosecutors had failed to adequately explain the charges against Andrew to one alleged female victim, and that the charges against the female suspects were not properly presented. We knew they were lies.” In August, DIICOT launched a second case against the Tate brothers investigating allegations of human trafficking, the trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor, influencing statements and money laundering. In March, the Tate brothers appeared at the Bucharest Court of Appeal in a separate case after British authorities issued arrest warrants over allegations of sexual aggression in a U.K. case dating back to 2012-2015.
