Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate, British American online influencers, departed Romania for the United States on Thursday, as confirmed by a source familiar with the situation.
The brothers boarded their flight on Thursday morning, according to the unnamed source due to the sensitive nature of the matter. The State Department has not yet responded to requests for comment.
The Tates have been involved in a lengthy legal battle in Romania since 2022, facing charges of human trafficking and money laundering. Although they successfully appealed the initial indictment, prosecutors have indicated ongoing investigations into additional charges of human trafficking and money laundering.
In addition to the Romanian legal issues, Andrew Tate is also facing allegations of sexual misconduct in Britain. A court in Bucharest previously ruled that the brothers should be extradited to Britain following the resolution of their Romanian cases.
Although the brothers were released from house arrest, they remained under judicial control in Romania. Their lawyer has described them as “political hostages.”
This is a developing story.
