Bucharest: A Bucharest court on Friday gave the green light for the start of the human trafficking trial of controversial influencer Andrew Tate after rejecting as "unfounded" the claims lodged by the defendants.
The Bucharest Tribunal said in a decision Friday that it has "established the legality of the administration of evidence and the execution of acts by the criminal prosecution authorities and orders the start of the trial".
It added that it "dismisses as unfounded the claims and exceptions put forward by the defendants".
However, no date has yet been set.
Following the court ruling, the legal team of Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan said it had filed an appeal, calling the decision "unlawful".
