Breaking: Andrew Tate and brother LEAVE Romania for US after travel ban lifted
The Guardian ^ | Feb 27 | Guardian staff

Posted on 02/27/2025 1:05:38 AM PST by RandFan

The self-styled “misogynist influencer” Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, have left Romania on a private jet and are flying to the US after their travel ban was lifted, officials and local media have said.

The brothers, who were arrested in Romania three years ago and face trial on charges of rape, people trafficking and money laundering, took off from Bucharest’s Baneasa airport at 5.30am (3.30am GMT) for Florida, 24-hour news channel Antena 3 said.

Airport sources confirmed their departure. Romania’s public prosecutor’s office said it had approved the brothers’ request to travel to the US pending investigation, and judicial sources told local media they were due to return for a court hearing in March.

The former professional kickboxer, 38, and his brother, 36, have been under a travel ban since their arrest in 2022, along with two Romanian women, on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

Romania’s anti-organised crime unit, Diicot, launched a second inquiry last August for alleged crimes including forming an organised criminal group, human trafficking, trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering.

I don't think he did anything wrong, just a victim of left-wing media and being an American conservative in the EU.

He was under house arrest for three years, yet there was never a trial nor any evidence provided against him. You sound like a Zeeper.

He’s a “natural born” US citizen - 1 December 1986,
Washington, D.C. His dad was Emory Tate, a US chess champion (of all things) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emory_Tate

His mother was British.

I remember Emory Tate from the chess scene in the mid-1990s after his stint in the air force. He was always broke, and always hustling, but he was a brilliant chess player.

Fine. Why wasn't there a trail in Rumania for his crimes? Like the J6 defendants, I've been waiting for three years.

At the time, I suspected the Biden regime told the left-wing Rumania government to arrest Tate and I thought he was finished, but nothing happened.

I was right. It was all a sham.

Yet zero evidence. Nothing in court. Do you work for AP or Reuters?

I don't think he committed a criminal act. I was waiting for his trial in Rumania and to hear all the terrible things that he did, and I heard nothing for three years. It was all a lie, like North Koreans in Kursk.

Yes, you’ll be waiting a long time for the authorities to produce anything.

He’s better off out of there and right now if you had to choose between WOKE UK or US it’s an easy decision

Some say what took him so long

Having that passport is huge for him.

The land of the free indeed!

The trial took so long because Christine Balsey Ford was slow to learn Romanian.

If this comes up in the Trump-Starmer presser today, that could be “interesting”.

Actually, he still has a court date this coming month over there, and is wanted in the UK, for a case going back to 2012 or 2013, (pornography with a minor) which explains why he is coming here, and not going there until Romania is done with him.

Check my posting history, then try calling me a “zeeper” ;)

Just because the left doesn’t like him doesn’t make him into a conservative hero. He’s no conservative at all. He’s a sick sadistic grifter peddling get-rich-quick schemes and the sort of warped view of “masculinity” one might expect from a fatherless 13-year-old gangbanger. He certainly does not stand for conservative masculine virtues that real conservative men aspire to (and which real conservative women admire).

Sorry it’s The Beeb, but:


Tate has described himself as a “self-made multi-millionaire” and said he earned money through “a little webcam business from my apartment”.

“I had 75 women working for me in four locations and I was doing $600,000 a month from webcam,” he said in a podcast interview.

In a now-deleted page on his website, he said he brought women into the “adult entertainment industry”.

“My job was to meet a girl, go on a few dates, sleep with her, test if she’s quality, get her to fall in love with me to where she’d do anything I say and then get her on webcam so we could become rich together,” he wrote on the page - which was subsequently taken down in February 2022.

Tate works alongside his brother, Tristan, who told the Daily Mirror that their business was “all a big scam” which saw men pay to talk to women online.

“I’ve seen men sell cars, TVs... This guy’s gran passed away and they were waiting for the sale of the house. When the house was sold he’d get £20,000 and promised it to [a model], to pay for her fake financial problem,” Tristan told the Mirror.
