Andrew Tate paces and smokes cigar hours after house arrest release from jail

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate paced in his house while smoking a cigar hours after he and his brother Tristan were released from a Romanian prison and placed under house arrest after winning an appeal over their detention.

In the caption of the clip, Tate, a 36-year-old British-US citizen, said: “Since last year ive [sic] been in 24-hour lockdown.

“Pacing a 3-metre cell with zero electronics or outside contact. Absolute clarity of mind. Real thoughts. Real plans.”

On Friday, March 31, the Bucharest Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Tate’s appeal which challenged a judge’s decision last week to extend his arrest a fourth time for 30 days, an official said.

The investigation into trafficking claims against Andrew and Tristan Tate continues, officials said.
