Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate have left Romania for the United States after their travel ban was lifted, reports AP. They are facing serious allegations, including human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to exploit women. However, the exact conditions under which they were allowed to leave remain unclear.
Legal Battle and US Influence
The Tate brothers, both dual US-British citizens, have been vocal supporters of former US President Donald Trump. Their case has drawn significant international attention, with speculation about political pressure influencing Romania's decision. However, Romania’s foreign minister recently denied claims that the US government pressured them to lift travel restrictions on the brothers.
Allegations and Court Ruling
Andrew, 38, and Tristan, 36, were arrested in late 2022 along with two Romanian women. Prosecutors charged them with human trafficking and running a criminal network to exploit women. The Tates have repeatedly denied all allegations, calling them false and politically motivated.
In December 2024, a Bucharest court ruled that the case could not proceed due to multiple legal and procedural errors by prosecutors. This was a major setback for Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT. However, the case is still ongoing.
Who is Andrew Tate?
Andrew Tate first gained fame in 2016 as a contestant on the UK reality show Big Brother, but was removed after a controversial video surfaced. He later moved to Romania and built a business empire around online coaching and social media influence.
As the Tate brothers head to the US, their future remains uncertain, with legal battles still ahead.
