Andrew Tate Posts Bizarre Video After Jail Release Amid Sex Trafficking Probe
After being released from prison, ANDREW Tate uploaded a bizarre shirtless video along with a cryptic message.
The 36-year-old former kickboxer and his 34-year-old brother were placed under house arrest after being released from jail.
Both men and their two alleged “angels,” Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu, remain under investigation by Romanian law enforcement for sex trafficking and organized crime.
Tate and his brother returned to their extravagant residence in Pipera, Voluntari, on the outskirts of Bucharest.
The influencer also posted a video of himself smoking a cigar while shirtless and pacing around his home.
About his time behind bars, he stated, “Absolute mental clarity. Real thoughts. Real plans. Vivid pain.”
And he added, in a cryptic message, “We must defeat Shaytan.”

In Islam, Shaytan is a malevolent demon that tempts humans to sin.
Tate also spoke to reporters waiting outside his home amidst the media frenzy.
According to the Romanian news source Cancan, he exclaimed, “Freedom, at last! I’m a bit elated.”
“I harbor no animosity toward Romania or anyone else in the country; I believe only in the truth.”
He continued, “I believe justice will prevail in the end, and there is a 0% chance I will be found guilty of something I did not do.”
“I am innocent, and I believe everyone understands that. I am happy to be home.”
In addition, he disclosed how he had spent his time behind bars, stating that he had focused on push-ups and reading the Quran.
Tate retweeted a flurry of messages from his supporters after his release and also tweeted, “I win. “No tears.”
He was referring to a previous tweet in which he said he had “almost” shed tears over his situation in prison.
Since their detention on December 29 as part of an investigation into allegations of human trafficking and rape, the Tates and the “angels” fought for their release.
The spokesperson for Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, Ramona Bolla, stated that all four suspects will remain under house arrest until April 29.
The courts have ordered them to remain in their residences unless they are granted permission to leave.
Tate traveled to and from the court while his legal team fought against the arrest warrant and the extensions of his detention.

A spokesperson for Andrew and Tristan Tate stated, “We are ecstatic to announce that the Romanian judicial system has accepted Andrew and Tristan Tate’s appeal against the extension decision made last week.
While the investigation is ongoing, they will be placed under house arrest.
“We are grateful that the judge and courts have permitted the brothers to return home.”
Tate’s legal team previously claimed he needed to be released so he could seek medical treatment in Dubai.
The brothers were detained for over ten weeks in a Romanian prison on suspicion of human trafficking, organized crime, and rape.
They are accused of recruiting women through social media and convincing them to visit their £600,000 villa on the outskirts of the capital of Romania.
The brothers allegedly pretended to be in love with the young women to force them to perform sexual acts on webcams.
They deny all allegations against them, and no charges have been brought against them as of yet.
Tate has asserted multiple times that Romanian prosecutors lack evidence.
Tate, a misogynist influencer, cultivated an image that appealed to teenage boys, building an online empire that made him one of Google’s most-searched individuals.
Much of the content, which masquerades as lifestyle advice, is viewed as highly sexist and as promoting violence against women.
