A spokesperson for controversial social media personality Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan confirmed on Friday that the brothers will be released from their detention in Romania after being taken into custody on Dec. 29, 2022.
Tate and his brother are both facing allegations of sexual assault and human trafficking. Neither Tate nor his alleged co-conspirators have been formally charged with a crime.
A spokesperson for the brothers said the two will be released on house arrest. The conditions of their release were not immediately clear.
The pair were arrested along with two Romanian women in Bucharest on sex trafficking and other allegations.
In January, Romanian authorities seized $3.9 million-worth of luxury cars and assets from a compound near Bucharest as part of the investigation into Tate.
In February, Tate lost an appeal against a judge's decision to extend his detention for a third time, Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romania’s anti-organized crime agency DIICOT, said.

DIICOT claimed it had identified six victims in the case who were allegedly subjected to “acts of physical violence and mental coercion” and sexually exploited by members of the alleged crime group.
