Accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate took a shirtless victory lap Friday to celebrate his release from Romania — boasting that he plans to hop in a sports car and go see his “bitches” around the world.
The self-proclaimed misogynist social media influencer — who’s awaiting trial on rape and human trafficking charges — celebrated in a video how judges on Friday finally allowed him to leave the country.
“For the first time in nearly three years, the judges decided I can leave Romania,” Tate, 37, says in footage posted to X. “Everyone knows this case against me is a sham. The process is the punishment. In the end I’ll be innocent.”
The former pro-kick boxer was seen strutting around with no shirt on before gesturing towards several high-end sports cars — including a Ferrari and a Maserati — and wondering aloud which one he should drive to celebrate his newfound freedom.
“Do we take the FS90 to Italy? Do we take the MC20 to Cannes? Do we take the 812 Competizione to Paris? Where do I go? I can go anywhere I want,” he brags — despite still being ordered to remain within the Europen Union.
“Now I’m free to do a tour around the world. … You ever driven to Tokyo? No? You’re a p-ssy. I’m built different,” he brags, despite Japan’s capital remaining off limits, “built different” or not.
Tate then shows his attitude toward women has not shifted, asking: “Which of my bitches am I gonna see?”
“I’m gonna drive to the Italian Alps. I’m gonna get bitch one, two and three,” he boasts.
He then swaggers off towards his Ferrari and again declares, “I’m built different!”
A caption for Tate’s X post declares, “I AM FREE. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3 YEARS I CAN LEAVE ROMANIA. THE SHAM CASE IS FALLING APART.”
A court in Romania’s capital ruled Friday that Tate can leave Romania but must remain within the European Union as he awaits trial on the charges, which also include forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
That ruling came after the case had been discussed for months in the preliminary chamber stages — a process in which the defendant can challenge prosecutors’ evidence.
A spokesperson for Tate, Mateea Petrescu, hailed the ruling as a “significant victory and a major step forward” in the case.
Tate, who is a British U.S. citizen, was arrested in December 2022 near Bucharest with his brother, Tristan, and two Romanian women.
Prosecutors indicted all four suspects in June 2023. Tate was released from house arrest two months later but ordered to stay in the country.
He and the other three suspects have denied the allegations.
