(Reuters) - A Romanian court ruled in favour of an appeal from internet personality Andrew Tate and his brother and lifted a precautionary seizure on multiple assets, his representative said on Thursday.

"This decision restores ownership of properties, vehicles, bank accounts, and company shares to the rightful owners, Andrew and (his brother) Tristan Tate and their companies," the representative said, adding some assets still remain under precautionary seizure.
