Social media personality, Andrew Tate, who is charged in Romania with rape, human trafficking, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, reportedly, lost an appeal Thursday, against a court’s earlier decision to keep him under house arrest.
Reports are that the Bucharest Court of Appeal ruled against Tate’s appeal, which challenged a June 23 decision to extend the house arrest measure for 30 more days as the criminal case continues.
That decision was made days after Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, formally indicted the former kickboxing pro along with his brother Tristan, and two Romanian women in the same case. All four were initially arrested near Romania’s capital in late December, and have denied the allegations against them.

According to the Tate brothers’ spokesperson, Mateea Petrescu, the judges’ initial decision wasn’t unanimous, and that offered hope even though they lost the appeal, because for the first time since their arrest, “a judge has ruled that the brothers should be allowed to move freely in Romania, without restrictions.”
