Tate’s expletive ridden video after court win
The controversial influencer has claimed he is now “free” after a court decision in Romania and he is bragging about how he will celebrate.
Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate has celebrated a court victory by proclaiming he will take a sports car to the Italaim Alps to see some “b****es”.
He posted a shirtless video to Twitter/X in front of Maserati and Ferrari sports cars after a court ruled he can leave Romania where he has remained in for the last three years as he awaits trial on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
However, he must remain within the European Union. That means he cannot return to his native Britain, for instance.
But when the Romanian trial is completed he will face extradition to Britain over sex offence accusations made there.
He has called the trial a “sham case,” and he and is brother Tristan have denied all the charges against them.
The influencer has 9.5 million mostly male followers on Twitter/X. He was previously banned from various social media platforms for allegedly expressing misogynistic views and using hate speech.
Tate is a former professional kickboxer and reality TV contestant.
The Bucharest Tribunal’s decision to allow Tate, 37, to leave the country was hailed by his spokesman, Mateea Petrescu, as a “significant victory and a major step forward”.
On Friday, local time, he posted the video where he pondered where he should go on his first trip outside Romania in years and what vehicle he should take.
“Do we take the FS90 to Italy? Do we take the MC20 to Cannes? Do we take the 812 Competizione to Paris? Where do I go? I can go anywhere I want,” he says.
“Now I’m free to do a tour around the world. … You ever driven to Tokyo? No? You’re a p*ssy. I’m built different”.
Tate cannot go “anywhere” he wants and certainly not to Tokyo which is nowhere near the EU.
“I’m gonna drive to the Italian Alps. I’m gonna get b***h one, two and three,” he then boasts in the clips.
‘I am free’
A dual British US citizen, he was initially arrested in December 2022 near Romania’s capital of Bucharest along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian women.
Romanian prosecutors formally charged the group June 2023 and all four have denied the allegations.
After Friday’s decision, Tate wrote on Twitter/X: “I am free. For the first time in three years I can leave Romania. The sham case is falling apart”.
“We embrace and applaud the decision of the court today, I consider it a reflection of the exemplary behaviour and assistance of my clients,” said Tate lawyer Eugen Vidinea.
The Tate's are “still determined to clear their name and reputation,” he added.
The Bucharest Tribunal has not set a date for the trial to begin.
Mr Vidineac said the ability to travel within the 27-nation EU bloc will allow the Tates to “pursue professional opportunities without restriction”.
