Romanian prosecutors allowed the self-proclaimed 'misogynist' influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, who are accused of rape and human trafficking, to head to the United States after pressure from the Trump administration. The Bucharest prosecutor's office reported that it eased the travel restrictions imposed on the pair in 2022.
"I learned through the media," stated the governor. Andrew and Tristan Tate, along with two Romanian women, face accusations of creating an organized criminal group with the aim of recruiting, housing, and exploiting women in Romania and other countries. Both are accused of human trafficking in Romania and face additional charges in the United Kingdom, as well as Andrew Tate facing accusations of rape in Romania.
The Tate brothers must return to Romania when summoned for the investigation and could face arrest if they do not comply, according to their press service. They landed in Florida after leaving Bucharest on a private jet last Thursday morning.
Despite being allowed to travel, Romania's Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism warned that the brothers remain under judicial supervision and that any breach of the restrictions could result in harsher penalties.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis expressed that Andrew Tate is not welcome in the state following his arrival in the United States. Authorities allege that they forced several women to produce pornographic content, thereby generating significant sums of money.
Influencer Andrew Tate, known for his misogynistic and sexist messages on social media, has millions of followers. Regarding the pressure from the United States to ease the restrictions on the Tate brothers, it has generated controversy and contradictory statements among various parties involved.
