Self-styled ‘misogynist influencer’ and brother Tristan had been banned from leaving Romania since December 2023. Andrew Tate has left Romania for the US by private jet, according to local reports. The self-styled “misogynist influencer” is thought to have set off at about 5.30am local time (0300 GMT) on Thursday morning along with his brother, Tristan, according to antena3, a Romanian partner of CNN.
The pair, who are dual UK-US nationals, had been banned from leaving Romania since December 2023. The brothers were detained in December 2022 in a Bucharest suburb as part of an investigation into allegations of human trafficking and rape, which they deny. The pair were charged along with two Romanian women in June 2023.
After being charged, spokespeople for the Tates said: “While this news is undoubtedly predictable, we embrace the opportunity it presents to demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation.”. Romania’s prime minister recently denied that Donald Trump’s administration had made an effort to lean on Bucharest to lift the travel restrictions. The Financial Times reported that Trump’s special envoy, Richard Grenell, spoke to the Romanian foreign minister about the Tates at a Munich security conference.
