A court in Romania’s capital has ruled that a trial can commence in the case of influencer Andrew Tate, who faces charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. The Bucharest Tribunal determined that the prosecutors' case file against Tate met the legal criteria, although no trial date has been set yet. Tate's spokesperson, Mateea Petrescu, confirmed that the ruling has been appealed.
Andrew Tate, 37, was arrested in December 2022 near Bucharest along with his brother, Tristan Tate, and two Romanian women. The Romanian prosecutors formally indicted all four in June last year, with the accused denying the allegations.
