Andrew Tate May Recover Seized Bitcoin (BTC) From Romanian Authorities
Crypto social media influencer Andrew Tate won an appeal to contest the seizure of his assets as part of an ongoing human trafficking crime investigation in Romania.
A Romanian court must reconsider a ruling they made to allow the seizure of Tate’s assets, which include Bitcoin holdings. Tate’s assets will remain in seizure until the courts reassess the ruling. The Romanian anti-organized crime unit has refrained from commenting.

It is unknown at this point whether the human trafficking case will proceed. A preliminary chamber of the Bucharest court needs to assess court filings for legality before the case can continue. But the court’s severe backlog may push the case out indefinitely.
Tate and his brother Tristan have been in police custody from December 2022 to April 2023. They were consigned to house arrest in August, which allowed them to move around more freely. They were part of a group of four accused of rape, human trafficking, and forming a gang to exploit women.

In April, a Romanian lawyer told a local news outlet that the Romanian government has no case. Tate’s lawyer at the time told Tucker Carlson of Fox News that the detention was proper under Romanian law, but its application was a human rights violation.
“This is sanctioned under their laws…However, I think the way it is being applied in this case is completely a violation of international human rights law.”
