Summary
A Romanian appeals court found significant flaws in a human trafficking and rape case against Andrew Tate, his brother Tristan, and two Romanian women.
The court deemed parts of the indictment unclear, excluded evidence, and ordered prosecutors to amend or withdraw the case within five days.
Key issues included improperly explained charges, inadmissible witness statements, and vague asset confiscation details.
The ruling was called a “monumental victory” by Tate’s lawyers.
A second case involving trafficking minors and money laundering remains ongoing, while British authorities seek the Tates’ extradition for unrelated allegations.
That’s not as true as you want it to be, sadly.
People who abuse others tend to be very good at manipulating themselves into positions of power and authority in other ways too, and abusive people are often a product of the society and people they were raised by.
Conservative religious societies really aren’t historically (or currently) known for treating their women and children well, and before very recently, conservative and religious was the default everywhere.
Also you might not be old enough to know just how much more common and socially ignored child abuse used to be, even 30 years ago. Spousal abuse too. Women and children have only recently gotten legal rights in many western countries.
