DIICOT Case 1 reindictment 2025

Bucharest Court of Appeal December 2024 ruling ordered DIICOT Case 1 investigation restarted from zero — full annulment of 2023 indictment, not limited correction

The court's December ruling went beyond the November 5-day correction window. It ordered the criminal investigation restarted 'de la zero' (from zero), effectively annulling the June 2023 indictment and all preliminary chamber proceedings that followed. This was a complete reinvestigation order, not a targeted fix.

Andrew Tate confirmed on departure from Romania that no active indictment is in court as of February 2025, consistent with Case 1 being in pre-indictment reinvestigation phase

Andrew Tate stated upon departing Romania for Florida: 'we have no active indictment in court' — this was offered as the basis for DIICOT prosecutors approving his travel modification request. DIICOT did not contradict the substance of this statement, only clarifying that judicial control remained in force.

At least two Case 1 complainants refused DIICOT summons in early 2025, creating evidentiary gaps that complicate reindictment effort

A Fanatik.ro exclusive reported that at least two complainants in DIICOT Case 1 refused to appear before prosecutors in response to formal summons. Their attorney Alexandru Rîșniță confirmed the women 'did not appear.' Their continued non-cooperation would remove key testimonial evidence from the reinvestigation and undermine DIICOT's ability to refile.

DIICOT extended judicial supervision 60 days from April 1, 2025 — pre-indictment investigative measure; confirms Case 1 reindictment not yet filed as of early April 2025

DIICOT extended judicial supervision for a further 60 days on April 1, 2025 — a pre-indictment investigative measure. Andrew and Tristan Tate appeared at DIICOT headquarters on that date. Judicial supervision rather than pre-trial chamber status confirms the case has not yet returned to court with a new indictment.

As of March 2026, DIICOT has not confirmed filing a new Case 1 indictment; case remains in active reinvestigation phase with no trial date set

As of March 2026, no source in English or Romanian confirms DIICOT filed a new or corrected indictment in Case 1 following the December 2024 remand. Converging indicators — Tate's own 'no active indictment' statement, investigative-phase judicial supervision measures, absent pre-trial chamber proceedings, and no trial date — support the conclusion that Case 1 remains in reinvestigation with no reindictment filed.
