CNN —Andrew Tate, a self-proclaimed misogynist influencer, can leave Romania but must remain within the European Union as he awaits trial on charges of human trafficking and rape, a Romanian court ruled Friday.
The ruling by a court in the Romanian capital of Bucharest means Tate, his brother Tristan and two further defendants may travel freely within the EU until their trial, according to CNN affiliate and Romanian outlet Antena 3.
A spokesperson for the Tate brothers called the ruling a “significant victory and a major step forward” in their ongoing case.
In April, a Bucharest court ruled that the case against the brothers on charges of human trafficking and rape could proceed to trial.
Romanian prosecutors alleged the Tate brothers seduced victims, by falsely claiming they wanted a relationship or marriage with them.
