Andrew Tate, charged with rape and trafficking in Romania, heads to the U.S.
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate, who face charges in Romania including human trafficking and sexual intercourse with a minor, have left for the U.S.
Influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate, who face charges in Romania including human trafficking and sexual intercourse with a minor, have left for the United States after a travel ban on them was lifted, according to their lawyer and Romanian prosecutors.
Joseph McBride, the Tate brothers' U.S.-based attorney, told NBC News on Thursday morning the siblings were on their way to Florida. He did not provide further details on their expected arrival.
The Tate brothers, who are dual U.S.-British citizens, were reported by Romanian media to have taken a private plane from the country to the U.S. early Thursday.
The brothers left Romania while under criminal investigation over accusations of having formed an organized criminal group, in addition to human trafficking, the trafficking of minors, sex with a minor and money laundering. They have denied any wrongdoing.
Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism, or DIICOT, said in a statement Thursday that prosecutors had approved a “request to modify the obligation preventing the defendants from leaving Romania,” but it said judicial control measures remained in place, The Associated Press reported. The agency did not expand on who had made the request.
