A court in Bucharest ruled on April 26 that a trial can start in the case of influencer Andrew Tate, who is charged with human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. The court ruled that the case file against Tate met the legal criteria but did not set a date for the trial to begin. Tate’s spokeswoman said the ruling will be appealed.
