The Bucharest Tribunal decided on Friday that investigations into the case of brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate should continue with them under judicial control, but that they are free to leave Romania for another EU country, with the prior approval of the preliminary chamber judge or the trial court. The decision is not final and can be appealed
Andrew and Tristan Tate are being tried in Romania under judicial control for human trafficking and rape, in a case handled by the Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT).
The Tate brothers, holders of dual British and American citizenship, and their Romanian accomplices Alexandra-Luana Radu and Georgiana Manuela Naghel were sent to court by anti-organised crime prosecutors on June 20, on charges of setting up an organized criminal group that engaged in the recruitment, housing and exploitation of women for the creation of pornographic content intended for paid distribution on dedicated sites. They supposedly derived important gains from these activities.
The offenses charged against them are the creation of an organized criminal group, repeated human trafficking, rape (two counts), illegal access to a computer system, altering the integrity of computer data, battery and other violence and instigating to such crimes.
