Here's what Andrew Tate said following his release from Romanian custody

For those out of the loop, the Tate brothers are under investigation for their alleged involvement in human trafficking and se*ual assault. However, Andrew did speak to the press about the charges against him and his brother shortly after his release. He stated:

"I have no resentment in my heart for the country of Romania or anybody else. I just believe in the truth. I believe in God and I think that the fire of truth will destroy all lies."

He continued:

"I truly believe that justice will be served in the end. There's a zero percent chance of me being found guilty of something I have not done. I maintain my absolute innocence and I think most people understand this and I look forward to being home."

The influencer on social media also disclosed his initial plans after being released from prison. He said:

"When I was in jail I did 7,417 pushups. I want to get to 10,000 before the end of the week."

While the Romanian authorities continue to do their work, the brothers are not allowed to leave the house without obtaining prior approval, as per the terms of their release.

During a media interaction, Eugen Vidineac, Tate's lawyer, said that the brothers were not permitted to speak with any potential witnesses for the prosecution. In discussing the various conditions for their release, Vidineac said:

"We do not yet have the court's motivation, we do not know whether there are other interdictions."
