(Reuters) - Andrew Tate and his brother will have fewer restrictions on movement as they await trial on human trafficking charges after a Romanian judge ruled they could travel around the country, the divisive influencer's representatives said on Thursday.

Tate was indicted in June along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian female suspects for human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, allegations they have denied.
