🧵THREAD: I've obtained an official Romanian prosecution document dated March 27, 2026, a DIICOT ordinance extending judicial supervision over Andrew Tate. This is what's actually happening in the second Romanian case right now.

Read on. 👇 First is first: Andrew and Tristan Tate categorically deny all allegations and maintain their innocence. Their legal teams have consistently contested the charges. But here's what Romanian prosecutors are saying in official documents submitted to a civil liberties judge.

Am văzut ieri cum aproape întreaga presă din România, inclusiv publicații din zona jurnalismului independent, a căzut în capcana comunicatului fraților Tate și a relatat că aceștia "au scăpat de toate măsurile controlului judiciar."

Acest lucru nu este adevărat. Andrew Tate se află în continuare sub control judiciar în cel de-al doilea dosar instrumentat de DIICOT, în care este cercetat pentru trafic de persoane, act sexual cu un minor și spălare de bani. Sursele mele spun ca la aceste acuzații se va mai adăuga încă una de viol,

A court in Bucharest has lifted judicial control measures against Andrew and Tristan Tate in their first case. The ruling by the Bucharest Tribunal (TMB), in case no. 11858/3/2026, is final. The court admitted a complaint filed by the defence and ruled that continuing the preventive measures was no longer justified, removing all restrictions in this case.

‼️ A new investigation in the Andrew Tate case: UK watchdog to examine police conduct. A similar case in Romania ended with a written warning.

🧵 The UK’s Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) says it is reviewing how Hertfordshire Police handled sexual abuse complaints against Andrew Tate.

I read last night’s New York Times piece about the Tate brothers and alleged interventions by US and Romanian politicians. Here’s what I think of it 🧵 I expected a deep investigation: sources, documents, names, timelines. What I found was far less conclusive to say the least.

A Florida judge has dismissed all major counterclaims filed against Andrew and Tristan Tate by “Jane Doe” in their ongoing civil case. 🧵 The ruling, issued by Judge G. Joseph Curley (Palm Beach County), rejected six counts, including allegations of:
•Sex trafficking
•RICO violations
•Civil conspiracy
•Malicious prosecution
•Intentional infliction of emotional distress

A Reuters investigation reveals how Russia has recruited Orthodox priests in Moldova to influence Sunday’s parliamentary elections — paying them hundreds of dollars and sending them on pilgrimages to Moscow with anti-Western lectures. 🧵 Priests were allegedly asked to push propaganda on Telegram, create parish pages warning against EU integration, and sway parishioners to vote against pro-Western leaders. One priest told Reuters he received $1,200 for his role.

Here’s an interesting one. Bogdan Stancu, head of security for the Tate brothers, has been dismissed after almost five years in the role. 🧵 According to my sources, the fallout allegedly happened in March this year and stemmed from statements Stancu gave to DIICOT in the ongoing human trafficking and rape cases.

🧵Busy days ahead for the Tate brothers, with multiple court appearances scheduled in Romania 👇

📸 Inquam Photos / Eduard Vînătoru 📍Aug 1: At 10:00 AM, the Bucharest Tribunal hears their appeal against asset seizure measures in their second criminal case.

Today, July 30, marks the World Day Against Human Trafficking.

A reminder that one of the most high-profile trafficking cases globally remains stalled in the Romanian justice system.

Yes, I’m talking about the Tate brothers’ case. 🧵 It’s been 942 days since Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in their Voluntari villa, near Bucharest, in December 2022.

Yet the main human trafficking case against them is still not in court — despite an overwhelming body of evidence and victim testimonies.

Romania’s new Justice Minister, Radu Marinescu, is about to oversee the prosecution of the Tate brothers. Before we celebrate, here’s a look at the kind of cases he used to take on. 🧵 Between 2021–2023, Marinescu was the defence lawyer for a man indicted for attempted murder — after allegedly trying to drown his wife in a jacuzzi.

Official police statement regarding the inquiry into Tristan Tate’s alleged interference in the electoral process: On May 4th of this year, a 36-year-old individual allegedly posted messages on a social media platform that may constitute possible contraventions under Law 370/2004 regarding presidential elections.

🧵Why Trafficking Victims Often Deny Being Victims

A common claim:

“One of the women DIICOT classifies as a ‘victim’ of Tristan Tate has personally denied it — proving the official count is inflated.”

Let’s break down why this is misleading — legally and psychologically. 👇 In human trafficking cases, it’s very common for victims not to perceive themselves as victims.

Why?

Because traffickers often use manipulation, coercion, and psychological control — creating what’s known as trauma bonding. This distorts the victim’s sense of reality.

🧵Last night , the Constitutional Court ruled that politicians and top public officials no longer have to make their asset declarations public. Yes, they’re now private. Here’s what’s happening now in Romania 👇 Until recently, these declarations were detailed and online: real estate, cars, jewelry, bank accounts, stocks—you name it. Now? One state institution (The National Agency for Integrity - ANI) will just say if someone “submitted” the form, if it’s “complete” or not. That’s it!

🔴 NEW — Statement from Andrew & Tristan Tate’s legal team (Holborn Adams):

A number of allegations in Romania have already been dropped. Once proceedings conclude there, “The Tates will return to face UK allegations.”

🧵 2/ On the UK case:

“UK prosecutors refuse to give even the most basic information to allow our clients to understand the allegations which they face.”

“Our clients are not even being told who the supposed victims are.”

Prosecutors from DIICOT have agreed to bring forward the next hearing with the Tate brothers from 28 May to Friday, 23 May, after the pair claimed they “have commitments and need to leave the country”, sources close to the investigation have told me this morning. 1/6 This marks at least the second time when Romanian authorities have accommodated travel requests from the two British nationals. Honestly, how is this possible? 2/6

Andrew and Tristan Tate are under federal criminal investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) — one of the toughest prosecutorial offices in the country. Here’s what we know so far:

This was revealed in a Florida civil case the brothers are involved in. Specifically, a filing made on Friday in Palm Beach County.

1/10: One of the girls caught in Morel Bolea’s trap has finally spoken out. Iuliana Dup, 26, is the first to break her silence and publicly accuse him of rape, abuse, and brutal manipulation. 🧵 2/10: Imagine being lured in at 13 with dreams of a glamorous modeling career, only to spend 12 years trapped in what turned out to be a living hell. That’s exactly what happened to Iuliana, who escaped in 2024 from an isolated house in Vorovești, near Iași, Romania.

The Rising Toll of Online Misogyny

1/ New polling commissioned by Amnesty International UK exposes just how deep online misogyny runs in Gen Z’s digital spaces. The numbers are staggering—and the consequences are dire. 🧵 2/ A shocking 73% of Gen Z social media users have witnessed misogynistic content online. HALF see it at least once a week.

🧵 Judicial Control in the Tate Case: What It Means & How Long It Can Last

Judicial control (control judiciar) is a legal measure under Romanian law that restricts a suspect’s freedom without placing them in detention. It’s defined in Article 211 of the Romanian Criminal Procedure Code and is often used as an alternative to pre-trial arrest.
