A court in Romania’s capital has ruled that a trial can start in the case of influencer Andrew Tate, who is charged with human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

The Bucharest Tribunal ruled on Friday that prosecutors’ case file against Tate met the legal criteria, but did not set a date for the trial to begin.
