Read our privacy policy An appeals court in Romania ruled Thursday that the human trafficking case against influencer Andrew Tate, his brother and two Romanian women cannot go to trial because of multiple legal and procedural irregularities on the part of the prosecutors. After Thursday's ruling, Andrew Tate said prosecutors “had years to build their case” and to “tear apart my life … and yet, they have nothing.” “They threw me in jail, took my money, my cars, and every ounce of my freedom. Andrew Tate accused the U.K. government of “outright theft” for freezing his accounts and said it was “a coordinated attack on anyone who dares to challenge the system.” In August, Romania's 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.
