Andrew Tate and his brother appear in Romanian court as they await trial on human trafficking charges

Influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan appeared in Romanian court today as they await trial on human trafficking charges.

In August, the Tate brothers won an appeal in Bucharest to be released from house arrested and placed under judicial control (released pending a trial).

They are currently awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking and creating a criminal gang to exploit women, allegations which they deny. 

Today, the pair appeared before a court in the Romanian capital at 12pm local time.  

The hearing represented another opportunity for the brothers and the prosecution to present evidence. The pair were photographed leaving the court this afternoon with their legal team, flanked by security wearing 'Tate' branded t-shirts.

A decision over whether to maintain the judicial control measure currently in place on the brothers will be announced on Thursday.

A new hearing was granted in November on the assets seized by Romanian authorities in the investigation, which includes a fleet of supercars.

Their latest court appearance in the Eastern European country comes as four British women are reportedly set to sue Andrew Tate after alleging he choked and coercively controlled them, with one claiming she was raped.

The self-proclaimed misogynist is said to have carried out the abuse between 2013 and 2016, before he rose to prominence on social media. 

Each woman claims they were choked until the blood vessels in their eyes burst while one said the YouTuber once texted her saying 'I love raping you'.

Tate denies the allegations and has threatened to pursue them for defamation.

Of the four women, three went to the police at the time but following a four-year investigation, the Crown Prosecution Service did not bring a charge.

The women now believe a civil case is their only option, according to The Sunday Times. They reportedly plan to sue Tate for personal injury and physical harm.

The claim is set to be made within the coming weeks.
