Andrew and Tristan Tate have reportedly departed Romania for the United States, according to a source close to the situation who confirmed the British-American influencers boarded a flight Thursday morning. The U.S. State Department has not yet issued any comment regarding their arrival.
The brothers have faced legal difficulties in Romania since 2022, including charges of human trafficking and money laundering. While they successfully challenged their initial indictment, Romanian prosecutors have continued investigating similar allegations against them. Previously under house arrest, they had been living in Romania under judicial supervision.
Andrew Tate also faces accusations of sexual misconduct in the United Kingdom. A Romanian court had previously ruled that the brothers would be extradited to Britain after their Romanian legal matters were resolved. Their attorney has described them as “political hostages.”
Their unexpected departure raises questions about the status of their ongoing legal proceedings and potential international extradition requests. With no official statements yet from Romanian or American authorities, the situation continues to develop. The Tate brothers, who have consistently denied all allegations against them, remain controversial figures in both online communities and legal contexts.
