The Tate brothers arrive at us after Romania prosecutors raise travel ban

The British influential ones -Andrew and Tristan Tate, who face a trial in Romania for positions that include human trafficking, have arrived in the United States after Romanian prosecutors raised a two -year trip prohibition.

Andrew, 38, and his brother Tristan, 36, have strongly denied accusations against them. The two left for Bucharest in an early private jet on Thursday and arrived in Florida hours later, with Andrew telling journalists who are “misunderstood.”

Romanian prosecutors emphasized that the case had not retired and remain “under judicial control”, which means they have to regularly inform the authorities and are expected to return to Romania.

However, his departure has caused concerns that prosecutors felt the political pressure of the Trump administration. The president of the United States said he knew nothing about the Tate brothers were released from Romania.

In the United States they also face a civil case of a woman who alleges that the brothers forced her to work sexual, and then defamed her after she gave evidence to the Romanian authorities.

The brothers also face separate positions in the United Kingdom of rape and human trafficking. Negan all accusations against him.

Upon arrival, Andrew Tate told reporters: “We live in a democratic society where it is innocent until it is demonstrated and I think my brother and I are largely misunderstood.”

“There are many opinions about us, many things that arose about us on the Internet,” he said, adding that “they have not yet been convicted of any crime in our lives.”

The brothers refused to answer questions about their release and the role of Trump in which the United States is allowed.

A lawyer from the Tate brothers, Joseph McBride, said they will return to Romania at the end of March to meet with the prosecutor before returning to the United States.

“They feel safe in the United States for several reasons, the main one is that Donald Trump is the president. As a result, they are excited to call their home again,” McBride said in a statement.

Speaking at the White House after his plane landed, Trump said he knew nothing about the Tate brothers who were released from Romania.

When asked if his administration pressed the Romanian government to release them, he said: “I don’t know anything about that. I don’t know, are you saying that he is on a plane at this time?”

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, who was sitting next to Trump in the White House, said: “Here is an English element, so it is obviously important that justice be done, and human trafficking is obviously, in my opinion, a risk of security.”

On Thursday, the brothers arrived in Fort Lauderdale in Florida around 11:00 local time (16:00 GMT) and were seen landing the plane.

His arrival follows the comments made by the figures of the Trump administration earlier this month.

The Tates have regularly published messages in Trump’s support, and Tristan Tate has said that his brother’s role in persuading “millions of young men” to support him “cannot be overlooked.”

Romania’s Foreign Minister also told Romanian television that Trump’s envoy for special missions had elevated the brothers during a conversation at the Munich Security Conference in Germany fifteen days ago.

Emil Huzeanu said his discussion with Richard Grenell had been informal and did not consider the “a form of pressure” approach. Grenell told The Financial Times that his support for the brothers was evident for their “publicly available tweets.”

However, women who have brought accusations of sexual abuse against the Tate brothers said last week they were “Extremely concerned” For reports that US officials had asked Romania to relax travel restrictions for men.

Andrew Tate is a self -written misogynist who has attracted millions of followers online, despite having been previously expelled from social media platforms for expressing their views.

He and his brother were first arrested in Romania in December 2022, with Andrew accused of violation and human trafficking and Tristan suspected of human trafficking.

Both denied the charges and spent several months under house arrest. A year later, in August 2024, they faced new accusations that include sex with minor people and minor traffic, all of which deny.

A former Kickboxer who had appeared on the United Kingdom television program, Andrew, had moved from the United Kingdom to Romania several years ago. However, the police in Bedfordshire are still looking for extradition in separate and unrelated accusations of violation and human trafficking, as well as tax evasion.

Those plaintiffs said it was clear that it would not face a criminal prosecution in Romania and appealed to the United Kingdom authorities to take measures.

“We are incredulous and we are reaumatized by the news that the Romanian authorities have given pressure from the Trump administration to allow Andrew Tate to travel through Europe and the United States,” women said in a statement.

Elena Lasconi, which is postulated for the Romanian presidency in the May elections, six months later They were canceled controversial, he has asked for the immediate resignation of the Head of the Romanian Crime Investigation Directorate, say Diichot, who made the decision to let the brothers leave.

“I am outraged!” She wrote on social networks: “As a woman, human and Romanian.” Lasconi said prosecutors must publicly explain if their decision had emerged as a result of external pressure.

Diichot prosecutors have emphasized that judicial conditions for the brothers have not changed.

Any violation of those obligations made of bad faith “can lead to the replacement of judicial control with a Highest measure of deprivation of liberty, “he said in a Romanian statement.

After a successful judicial appeal on Wednesday, the brothers also returned multiple assets that had originally been seized by the authorities, including six properties, six cars and frozen bank accounts.

This occurs after the court limitations “modified to allow the brothers to travel to the United States,” said Tates’s representative’s statement.

It is understood that the Tates must return to Bucharest at the end of March to satisfy the terms of prosecutors, however, it is too early to say if they will comply with them.

Romania is a member of the European Union and a key Member State of NATO on the eastern flank of the Western Alliance. It has an extradition treaty with the United States.

Senior Trump’s figures have also had the government in Bucharest in their opinion on the court ruling that annulled the presidential elections last December. Romania’s intelligence services said the extreme right -wing candidate Calin Georgescu had been supported by a wave of Tiktok accounts designed by Russia.

Georgescu was accused on Wednesday for an attempt to “incite the acts against the constitutional order.” He has denied any irregularity and has previously called electoral annulment a “formal coup d’etat.” Prosecutors are still investigating the accusations of electoral fraud.
