Andrew Tate, his brother and two of his ‘angels’ are RELEASED under house arrest from Bucharest jail amid an investigation into alleged crimes of human trafficking, rape and criminal gangs
- Andrew Tate was initially arrested on December 29 along with his brother Tristan.
- Two Romanian women, Luana Radu and Georgina Naghel, were also arrested.
- All four had their bail requests denied this week, but the appeal was successful.
Andrew Tate, his brother and two of his ‘angels’ have been released under house arrest from a Romanian jail amid an ongoing investigation into alleged crimes of human trafficking, rape and criminal gangs.
Tate, 36, was arrested on December 29 in Bucharest along with Tristan and two Romanian women, Luana Radu, 32, and Georgina Naghel, 28, on suspicion of various crimes and of forming an organized crime group to exploit to the victims.
Earlier this month, the four appeared at a bond hearing that Tate hoped would result in their release from prison and their house arrest after nearly three months behind bars.
That bail request was rejected by a judge on Wednesday and the four appealed the decision.
Today, the Bucharest Court of Appeal ruled that the brothers and two accomplices would be released from prison and placed under house arrest, a Tate spokesman told MailOnline.

Tate’s alleged accomplices Georgiana Naghel (left) and Luana Radu (right) have also been released from prison and will be placed under house arrest.
The four have been ordered to stay in the building where they live, unless the courts grant them permission to leave.
Earlier today, Tate wrote on social media: “In the end, we won’t remember the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
Model Naghel, one of the couple nicknamed ‘Tate’s Angels’, who is also a US citizen, describes herself as a businesswoman and influencer who is believed to have been dating Tate for almost a year.
Meanwhile, Radu previously worked at a police station in central Bucharest, but left the force eight years ago to pursue a career working in video chat rooms, which attract men from all over the world and have become a lucrative industry in Romania.
Tate and her brother were left “speechless” by the decision to deny them bail earlier this week and were to face another 30 days in prison on sex trafficking charges.
They were to remain in custody until April 29. None of the four have yet been formally charged.
While in prison, Tate became the latest target of the South Park parody in an episode featuring a ‘Romanian sex trafficker’ and a ‘toxic masculinity coach’, whose appearance resembled the toxic influencer.
Tate has responded to the clip on Twitter, writing: ‘When proven innocent. I look forward to helping create the best South Park episode of all time.”
Tate (pictured on January 26) and the others won their appeal today to be released from prison under house arrest.
Tate, who was once kicked out of Big Brother in 2016, gained notoriety online for his shocking comments about women.
Tate tweeted the above message today before news of his release from Romanian prison broke.
Although Tate has not yet been charged, prosecutors have identified six women as victims.
Tate, once a kickboxer, was pulled from Big Brother in 2016 over a video that appeared to show him attacking a woman.
His shocking comments on social media led to him being temporarily banned from Twitter after he said women should “take responsibility for being sexually assaulted.”
Despite the charges against him, Tate has gained a large following, particularly among young people.
