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.

No. We don’t want him. Let the Brits have bim. He has a British passport.
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.
He a self-confessed Muslim supremacist, pimp and woman beater. How much more wrong can you get?
And a couple of rape accusations here and there... But hey... Who’s counting?
It doesn’t matter who you work for, or who you don’t work for... This guy is a scumbag... Period!
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!
Who’s “we”? :)
It’s best to speak for one’s self and not all..unless they know all agree.
Adn we don’t :)
The trial took so long because Christine Balsey Ford was slow to learn Romanian.
EC
He may have been safer in a Romanian prison...
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.
Too bad he’s coming to America.
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:
“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.
