Andrew Tate has beenin Romania.
The social media influencer was under house arrest for parts of 2023 and 2024, amid ongoing criminal investigations.
Tate and his brother Tristan face an array of criminal charges and investigations in Romania and the UK, including alleged human trafficking, rape, and money laundering.
The former kickboxer rose to fame over his misogynistic commentary on social media.
Background
The Tate brothers face criminal allegations of human trafficking, trafficking minors, organising a criminal group, rape, and sexual exploitation.
In December 2022, the Tates were arrested in Romania. They were formally charged with sex trafficking in June 2023, and accused of forming an organised crime group aimed at the sexual exploitation of women.
Prosecutors in Romania alleged the brothers ‘recruited’ at least seven women who faced “physical violence and mental coercion”.
Last month, acourt found the pair hadn’t paid taxes on around £21 million ($AU42.5 million) of earnings.
Tate and his brother have also been charged with sexual aggression in the UK, relating to incidents between 2012 and 2015. They will face a UK court once Romanian proceedings wrap up.

House arrest
In April 2023, Andrew and Tristan Tate were released from detention following a court appeal.
The pair were under house arrest in Romania until August 2023. For the next year, they were ordered to remain in the country.
Then, in August 2024, a Romanian court ordered Andrew Tate be placed under house arrest again, in light of the new human trafficking investigation. Tristan was ordered to remain in the country.
This week, a Romanian court removed the house arrest orders on Andrew Tate.
From Wednesday, Tate will be allowed to leave his home but must stay in Romania.
Tate is also restricted from contacting other people involved in the criminal investigation.
