Andrew Tate Wins Legal Challenge Over Seized Assets

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate has won an appeal in a Romanian court, seeking the release of assets seized by authorities.

Andrew is under investigation in the nation on allegations of human trafficking and rape, which he denies.

On Monday, Bucharest’s Court of Appeal ordered a fresh trial for the held assets, which include expensive cars.

The victorious appeal included Mr Tate’s brother Tristan and two connected entities.

The brothers filed an appeal against a December 2023 court verdict that affirmed the constitutionality of their asset seizure.

A higher court ruled on Monday that the earlier ruling had been reversed and submitted for retrial.

The ruling means the Tate brothers can return to court and file a new civil action to retrieve their seized assets.

The appeal named two corporations as parties: SC Ground Breaking Development SRL, The Cannon Run Limited, and the Tate brothers.

In a statement on his official Twitter account, Andrew Tate stated that a judge must now demonstrate that the riches were obtained illegally to justify the ongoing seizure, adding, “They won’t prove a thing because it never happened.”

Court documents unsealed in June revealed that the brothers made millions of euros and bought expensive assets and homes through their commercial activities, which included sexual content and online self-help classes.

Both the brothers reject allegations made by Romanian investigators that they exploited women through their pornographic content business, which prosecutors claim operated as a criminal gang.

An indictment issued in June mentioned two female Romanian associates in addition to the British-American brothers, as well as seven accused victims.

The brothers were initially arrested in December 2022 and served time in prison before being placed on house arrest. While they are no longer in jail, the brothers cannot leave Romania while the inquiry continues.

In January 2023, luxury cars were spotted being removed from a house owned by the Tates near Bucharest. During the raids, watches worth millions of euros were confiscated.
