Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate has been released from prison in Romania together with his brother Tristan after successfully appealing against their detention. They have been behind bars in Bucharest ever since they were arrested at the end of December last year on suspicion of alleged human trafficking and forming an organised crime group.
The brothers, who are both kickboxers, have since lodged many failed appeals, but today they were successful in appealing last week's decision to extend their prison spell for another 30 days. The pair will now be held on house arrest, The Mirror reports. Two women from Romania who were also arrested in connection with the investigation will also be under house arrest, it is reported.
Andrew, 36, and Tristan, 34, were held on "preventative arrest" by a Romanian judge after six efforts to secure their release. Both brothers tweeted a cryptic message that simply read "Friday. InshaAllah", indicating they were confident of their release. You can get more story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
