Andrew Tate claims he’ll be ‘completely exonerated’ after winning house arrest appeal

Andrew Tate, the divisive internet influencer who is charged in Romania with rape, human trafficking, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, won an appeal on Friday 4 August to be released from house arrest.

Standing outside his large home near Bucharest, Tate, a self-described misogynist, told the media he expected to be “completely exonerated”.

Under the new measure, the Tate brothers can leave the house, but not the capital, Bucharest. They must check in regularly with the police and are banned from trying to approach the victims.

An investigation is ongoing into the abuse of seven women, whom prosecutors say the brothers lured through false claims of relationships.
