Romanian Court Approves Human Trafficking Trial for Andrew Tate and Brother: Legal Process to Begin Despite Ongoing Appeals
A Romanian court has approved the trial of internet personality Andrew Tate and three others on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang for sexually exploiting women.
Tate, his brother Tristan, and two Romanian women were indicted in June and have denied the allegations.
Tate's representative has announced plans to challenge the decision.
The Bucharest court in Romania has ruled that the case against the three brothers can proceed to trial.
The court found that the evidence management by prosecutors was legal.
However, the decision can be appealed.
Eugen Vidineac, the lead defense lawyer for the brothers, has already filed an appeal, arguing that the ruling lacks legal basis and reasoning.
No trial date has been set.
The Tate brothers, dual U.S. and British citizens and former kickboxers, are facing extradition from Romania to the UK on allegations of sexual aggression from 2012-15.
A Romanian court approved the extradition request, but a trial must be completed first.
The brothers are the most high-profile suspects for human trafficking in Romania, and their case will be significant for the country's anti-organized crime unit, DIICOT.
No trial date has been set, and the decision is expected to be appealed.
