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’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.

Any bets on how long until he makes it to Qatar?

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.

What could go wrong

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

He will likely leave for good then.

[-] statist43@feddit.de 17 points 1 week ago

Aaaaaaaannnndd he's gone.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 26 points 1 week ago

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.

I still have no clue who this guy is, and I'm content with this lack of knowledge.

[-] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

Very influential right wing shitbag whos teaching kids to treat the women they interact with as fleshlights rather than people.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago

Man he was happy. Why ruin that for him?

[-] Dankob@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Rape and sexually exploiting? That's not someone who should be free

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 11 points 1 week ago

He was talking about the comment OP.

That was actually rather hilarious.

[-] anlumo@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

That must have been a huge bribe.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

How long has this trial been going??

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hes rich, what do you expect? That he goes to jail?

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Didn't they confiscate all his money too?

[-] Eezyville@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

They're still fishing

[-] ace_garp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

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.
