Andrew Tate can leave Romania while awaiting trial, court rules

The controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate will be allowed to leave Romania while awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, a court has ruled.

Tate, 37, had been banned from leaving the country but will now be permitted to travel within the EU without restrictions while awaiting the trial.

The self-professed “misogynist influencer” was indicted in June 2023 along with his brother, Tristan, and two Romanian female suspects for alleged human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, allegations they have all denied.

He’s not coming back

He’ll either be caught leaving Europe (please don’t fuck that up EU), or any EU country will ship him back, if he doesn’t willingly go.

Somebody is going to take a vacation to French Guiana in the near future.

Not part of the shengen area, so if things work right (and assuming that "within EU" doesn't include non-shengen areas), he'd get stopped by border police if trying to depart there.

All he needs to do is wait until November. If Trump is elected, America will be a safe haven for shitstains like him. Hell, the dude would probably have a job waiting for him as a part of King Trump’s entourage.

Here's hoping this pathetic mong goes on the lamb again and gets hungry for pizza.

A closed mind coupled with a tiny sense of empathy, Tate has made such miniscule effort towards being a human.

saw in another post his lawyer saying how he'll be free and driving his Bugatti down a street near me upsetting the libruls.

Serving "I sleep in a big bed with my wife" energy for sure.
