The influential brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, accused of trafficking in people in Romania, went to the United States after a prohibition of traveling, an official said Thursday.

The brothers are also accused of forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

It is not clear under what conditions the Tates were allowed, who are enthusiastic supporters of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and have millions of online followers, they were allowed to leave Romania.

An official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case, said the decision was at the discretion of prosecutors.

The Romanian anti -changed crime agency, DiCot, said in a statement on Thursday that prosecutors approved a “request to modify the obligation that prevented the defendants from abandoning Romania”, but that the judicial control measures remained in force. The agency did not say who had made the request.

“These include the requirement to appear before the judicial authorities every time they are convened,” reads the statement. “The defendants are warned to deliberately violate these obligations can result in the judicial control being replaced by a stricter deprivation of the measure of freedom.”

Andrew Tate, 38, and Tristan Tate, 36, who are American-British dual citizens, were arrested near the capital of Romania at the end of 2022 along with two Romanian women. Romanian prosecutors formally accused the four last year. In April, the Bucharest court ruled that a trial could begin but did not establish a date. The four deny all the accusations.

The departure of the Tates occurred after Romania’s Foreign Minister Emil Hurzeanu said this month that an American official under the current Trump administration had expressed interest in the legal case of the brothers in Romania at the Munich Security Conference. The minister insisted that he was not equivalent to pressure.

In December, a court in Bucharest ruled that the case against the Tates and the two Romanian women could not go to trial due to multiple legal and procedural irregularities by prosecutors.

That decision of the Bucharest Court of Appeals was a great setback for Diicot, but did not mean that the defendants could walk freely. The case has not been closed, and there is also a separate legal case against the brothers in Romania.
