The Romanian Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) has extended supervision measures for another 60 days against against Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, who are awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
The brothers appeared at DIICOT's headquarters on April 1, where judicial sources confirmed the extension to RFE/RL.
The measures mean the brothers must report once a month, or whenever summoned, to the Voluntari Police Station near Bucharest, which monitors their compliance with their legal restrictions. They also are required to sign procedural documents as part of the process.
The measures have been tweaked and extended several times already, and may be further extended or adjusted as necessary in the future, according to Romanian law.
Andrew Tate, a prominent social media influencer with millions of Facebook followers, has repeatedly declared his innocence.
Shortly after being informed of the extension, the brothers left Romania on a private jet and headed to Dubai.

Upon their return to Romania on March 24, the brothers complied with the requirement to show up at a police station and sign judicial supervision documents. The governor of Florida later stated that the Tate brothers were "not welcome" in the state.
In Romania, Andrew and Tristan Tate are accused of recruiting women to produce pornographic content under coercion. The charges involve forming an organized criminal group, human trafficking, child trafficking, sexual acts with a minor, and money laundering.
Prosecutors allege that the brothers, along with four accomplices, recruited 34 women, transported them to various locations, and forced them to create explicit content, which was then distributed for profit on adult platforms.
The alleged financial gain from these activities includes $2.8 million and 887,000 crypto tokens, the value of which was not specified.
In a separate case, the brothers face charges of forming an organized criminal group and human trafficking. Additionally, Andrew Tate is accused of rape, while Tristan Tate faces accusations of inciting violence.
Beyond Romania, the Tate brothers are also being investigated in the United Kingdom for rape and human trafficking. A British court has confiscated assets worth over 2 million British pounds due to unpaid taxes.

The brothers have denied all allegations and continue to assert their innocence.
Andrew Tate maintains that being one of the most famous people on the planet naturally attracts scrutiny from every country.
After one of his visits to the Voluntari Police Station, Tate again dismissed the allegations, saying "the charges against us will not have any outcome."
The Tate brothers remain vocal in proclaiming their innocence, expressing confidence that they will ultimately prove the charges baseless.
