DISGRACED influencer Andrew Tate has been released from house arrest pending a trial over claims of abuse and trafficking, a Romanian court has ruled.
The former kickboxer, 36, has been held on house arrest in Bucharest since March alongside his brother Tristan over sex trafficking claims.
However, on Friday he won an appeal in a Bucharest court and is now set to be released from house arrest and placed under judicial control.
The ruling means that Tate, his brother Tristan and suspects Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu can leave the house, but not the capital and the surrounding Ilfov county.
After his release, the misogynist said on Twitter: "After 10 months. 3 in jail, 7 at home. After 15million euro of asset seizures. After an inditement based on nothing. The file was passed to a Judge who has ruled it weak and circumstantial. I have been released from house arrest but must remain within Romania. Now. To the Mosque. Alhamdulillah."

Under Romanian law, a judge has 60 days to inspect the case files to ensure legality. The trial will not start until that process is completed.
A prosecution source told The Sun said they were frustrated with the decision to end Tate's house arrest, saying: "House arrest would have been more suitable in this case."
"They are a public threat to society," they said.
"The measure of judicial control means that the Tate brothers will have a lot of freedom, including to spread their aggressive views because they are not banned from posting on social media or making phone calls."
