Summary

A Romanian appeals court found significant flaws in a human trafficking and rape case against Andrew Tate, his brother Tristan, and two Romanian women.

The court deemed parts of the indictment unclear, excluded evidence, and ordered prosecutors to amend or withdraw the case within five days.

Key issues included improperly explained charges, inadmissible witness statements, and vague asset confiscation details.

The ruling was called a “monumental victory” by Tate’s lawyers.

A second case involving trafficking minors and money laundering remains ongoing, while British authorities seek the Tates’ extradition for unrelated allegations.

    It really is amazing that we’re not only in the era of “total social and environmental decline” but we’re also in the era of “the absolute worst fucking people on earth get away with everything.”

      “the absolute worst fucking people on earth get away with everything.”

      They always have done, we just get to hear about them more often now as outrage gets page views/ad revenue.

        For a very long time we had a robust system of public violence that prevented a lot of this. Not all of it, but a lot.

        Back in the day if you were a sex pest and an asshole, chances were good that someone who lived in your community would either be firmly escorting you out of the local area never to return, or digging you a shallow hole back behind the churchyard.

        Now if you were a royal sex pest then that’s a different story, but guys like Tate? He’s just some dude. In a past age someone would have broken 33 bones in his arms, legs and face and he might have even learned something from it.
