‘Perv’ Tate is home

Controversial social media influencer and alleged sex trafficker Andrew Tate was released from a Romanian jail Friday and placed under house arrest.

After losing his first three appeals, Tate was released from a Bucharest lockup after winning his fourth one that challenged a judge’s decision last week to extend his arrest a fourth time for 30 days, said Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for DIICOT, Romania’s anti-organized-crime agency.

Tate had been jailed since late December on suspicion of organized crime and human trafficking.

The 36-year-old influencer — who boasts 5.5 million followers — tweeted a simple “:)” in celebration.

Tate and his three alleged accomplices — including brother Tristan — have not been formally charged. Under Romanian law, they could have been held for 180 days without charge.

The foursome were each granted immediate release in favor of house arrest until April 29, a final ruling prosecutors cannot challenge, Bolla said.

Tate and Tristan are accused of running an organized crime gang that tricked women into sex trafficking.
