DISGRACED influencer Andrew Tate is appearing in a Romanian court again today as he awaits trial on human trafficking charges.
Last month, Tate and his brother Tristan won an appeal in a Bucharest court to be released from house arrest and placed under judicial control.
Today, the pair appeared before the court again at 12pm Bucharest time as they appealed to have judicial controls imposed on them lifted after they were granted freedom from house arrest.
However, the court has postponed a decision around controls over Tate's movements and the control of his assets, until this Thursday.
This comes as four British women are reportedly set to sue Andrew Tate after the influencer allegedly choked them until blood vessels burst in their eyes.
Set to file claims of rape, coercive control, and choking in the High Court in the coming weeks, the women say they were victims of sexual violence by Tate between 2013 and 2016 - before he became known as an influencer - he denies all allegations.
