'I’m a free person who has not been convicted of anything,' Andrew Tate told reporters outside a police station in Voluntari, Romania.
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have returned to Romania, where they are facing human trafficking charges, following their trip to Florida after their travel ban was lifted.
The Tate brothers checked in at a police station near Romania’s capital on Monday, complying with judicial control requirements in the case in which they are charged with forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
Andrew spoke with reporters outside the police station in Voluntari and said, “I’m a free person who has not been convicted of anything.”
He added he will “comply with all judicial authorities everywhere around the world because I’m completely innocent.”
The Tate brothers, who are dual U.S.-British citizens, remain under criminal investigation for the trafficking of minors, sex with a minor and money laundering.
Andrew also faces an additional charge of rape. They have both denied any wrongdoing.
The brothers remain under judicial control, which requires them to appear before judicial authorities in Romania when summoned. They were due to check in with a surveillance officer on March 24.
“It doesn’t matter what you’re accused of, it matters what you are proven guilty to have done in a fair court of law,” Andrew said on Monday. “Accusations mean nothing. It doesn’t matter how many times you repeat an accusation on the news. That is garbage.”
