Controversial influencer Andrew Tate has had his appeal to be released from house arrest rejected by a Romanian court.
He was first arrested alongside his brother, Tristan, at their Bucharest home in December 2022.
The Bucharest Appeal Court on Wednesday ruled against the brothers’ appeal to be freed. The ruling is final.
In March, he was moved from custody to house arrest following a ruling by a Romanian judge.
Charges still have not been brought against the brothers or the two Romanian associates who were arrested with them.
Prosecutors are investigating the brothers for crimes of suspected human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
They have denied the allegations.
The two associates, Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu, were also moved from prison detention into house arrest in March.
All four were ordered to stay in the buildings where they live, unless they have judicial permission to leave.
Andrew Tate is especially popular among young men drawn to his hyper-macho image.
