The minister questions how Tate Brothers could leave Romania

The brothers are Dual American-United States citizens, and were first arrested in Romania in 2022.

They are accused of human trafficking and form an organized group to sexually exploit women in Romania. Andrew Tate is also accused of rape.

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.

Several months passed under house arrest in Romania, before the prosecutors announced on Thursday that the prohibition of travel had risen, and American passports of the couple had returned them, despite the fact that investigations on their alleged crimes had not been retired and expected to return to Romania.

However, his departure has caused concerns that prosecutors felt the political pressure of the Trump administration. On Thursday, the president of the United States said he knew nothing about his release.

Romania’s Minister of Justice said the Tate brothers “risk the prior arrest” if they do not return to Romania to face continuous investigation in cases against him.

“There are legal mechanisms to resolve this situation,” said Marinescu, which could be a reference to the extradition treaty between the United States and Romania.

The call comes as many Romanians express their concern that there seems to be a law for rich and influential, and another for common citizens.
