Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have reportedly left Romania and are believed to be heading to the US. The brothers left the country after 5am local time this morning on a private jet from Baneasa airport, sources have told the BBC. The social media figure and his brother were arrested in Romania three years ago, where they face trial on allegations of rape, trafficking minors and money laundering. They have denied all these claims.
They also denied allegations of rape and human trafficking in the UK, for which they are wanted by the police. Their extradition to the UK was set to be organised once their case in Romania finishes. The brothers are wanted by police in the UK over allegations of rape and human trafficking,.
Despite having dual UK-US nationality, they had been banned from leaving Romania, although it appears to have been lifted. Romania’s prime minister Marcel Ciolacu denied being pressured by the US government to allow the brothers to travel. During the US election, the Tate brothers supported Donald Trump and have seen widespread support on right-wing social media.
