A Romanian court has lifted the remaining “judicial control” measures on Andrew and Tristan Tate, removing supervisory conditions in one of the cases against them. The brothers are celebrating it as a victory, but it does little to reduce the threat of legal actions facing them. The Romanian ruling, handed down in Bucharest on 6 April, removes requirements such as regular police reporting and travel notifications, and the court also ordered the Romanian state to cover the brothers’ legal costs. Trafficking and rape allegations The brothers have been subject to a succession of preventive measures since their arrest three years ago, including pre-trial detention, house arrest and, more recently, judicial control. However, the lifting of restrictions does not bring the Romanian proceedings to an end. Prosecutors at DIICOT, the country’s anti-organised crime directorate, continue to pursue allegations of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised criminal group to exploit women.
