Andrew Tate was tight-lipped in front of journalists doorstepping his visit to Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism, DIICOT, on Wednesday, but he did say one thing: “I am a free man. I can move anywhere I want.”

They are accused of using the proceeds to buy land, cars and personal items and to upgrade a residential building.
