In August, the brothers – who deny the charges – were released from house arrest after their first detention almost a year ago, but were banned from leaving Romania.

Earlier this month, a court rejected Andrew's bid to have his seized assets worth £10 million, including 15 luxury cars, watches and property, returned to him after they were seized by police.
