- The one-and-a-half-minute-long clip showed the brothers dining at a lavish open-air restaurant with a group of men
- Prosecutors alleged last month that as many as seven female victims had been brought to Romania where they were intimidated, surveilled and forced to take part in pornography
Andrew Tate has shared a video purporting to show his escapades on the first night following his release from house arrest in Romania last week.
The controversial influencer and kickboxer, 36, along with his brother Tristan, 35, on Friday won an appeal to leave their home after spending months under house arrest amid an investigation into sex trafficking claims.
The one-and-a-half-minute-long clip showed the brothers dining at a lavish open-air restaurant with a group of men, toasting to one another’s freedom before pulling away in a purple McLaren and silver Porsche.
The McLaren was seen being delivered to Tate’s compound on the outskirts of Bucharest last week shortly after his release from house arrest, when he told reporters outside his home that he would be ‘absolutely exonerated’ over rape and human trafficking charges.
Police sources estimated that Tate’s car collection was worth around a total of £6million when they seized the vehicles earlier this year.
At the time, Romanian officials were pictured towing several cars away including a Rolls Royce, a Porsche, a Ferrari, a Lamborghini and an Aston Martin.
Following their release from house arrest, Tate, his brother Tristan and two Romanian women are now under judicial control, a lighter restrictive measure.
A judge has 60 days to review evidence in the case files before it goes to trial, which itself could take several years.

Speaking after Friday’s verdict, Tate said: ‘Everybody who was pushing these lies and reporting things on repeat without any substantial evidence are going to have to analyse within themselves why they decide to try and destroy people’s lives purely for views.
The self-professed misogynist continued: ‘I’ve done nothing wrong, God knows I’ve done nothing wrong, in my heart I know I’ve done nothing wrong. I think the people at home with a functioning brain understand we’ve done nothing wrong.’
Prosecutors alleged last month that as many as seven female victims had been brought to Romania where they were intimidated, surveilled and forced to take part in pornography.
One defendant raped an alleged victim twice in March last year according to a statement by Romanian prosecutors.
Victims are afforded automatic anonymity as alleged victims of sexual violence. One British woman, referred to as Sophie to protect her identity, claimed Andrew slapped and strangled her to the point of passing out ‘during rough sex’.
Upon his release Tate, 36, tweeted: ‘After 10 months. 3 in jail, 7 at home. After 15million euro of asset seizures. After an inditement based on nothing.
‘The file was passed to a Judge who has ruled it weak and circumstantial. I have been released from house arrest but must remain within Romania. Now. To the Mosque. Alhamdulillah.’
The Bucharest Court of Appeals said in a written ruling that it ‘replaces the house arrest measure with that of judicial control for a period of 60 days from August 4 until October 2.’
