A court in Romania’s capital has relaxed the geographical restrictions on Andrew Tate on Thursday.
The decision by the Bucharest Tribunal means that Tate can now travel anywhere within Romania but cannot leave the country.
The 36-year-old controversial social media influencer was previously unable to travel outside of the Bucharest area and nearby Ilfov County without a judge’s approval.
In August Tate was released from house arrest following his appeal and placed under judicial control, which limited his movements.
This new ruling comes after Tate appeared in court on Tuesday seeking an end to the restrictions placed on him.
Outside the court, Tate told reporters: "Things are moving in the correct direction. There’s not a single video of an abused girl or one single statement against us.
"If you get too big and too successful, people are going to come and try and attack you."
He told the reporters the case against him was a “witch-hunt."
Tate was arrested in December 22 along with his brother in Romania. He was charged with rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women.
The abuse is said to have taken place between 2013 and 2016. After a four-year investigation the Crown Prosecution Services did not bring charges against Tate.
According to The Sunday Times, three of the women accusing Tate are planning to sue him for personal injury and psychiatric harm. Tate has denied the allegations.
He also asked the court to return his assets that were seized during the investigation.
Authorities said Tate had cars, designer watches and cash estimated to be around 3.6 billion euros.
However, the court postponed discussing his assets until November. The anti-organised crime agency in Romania said if the prosecutors can prove that the assets were gained through illicit activity, the money could be used to cover expenses of the investigation and compensation for the victims.
Tate said to reporters: "They took a lot of stuff ... 15 cars, and they took a lot of things of a lot of value.”
"It’d be nice to get my things back."
