Controversial brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate have left Romania and are on their way to the US weeks after the influencer was released from house arrest amid their human trafficking case, according to a report.
The Tate brothers, who had been under a travel ban for the last three years, left Baneasa airport on a private jet at 5:00 a.m. local time (10:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday) on a private jet, according to the BBC, citing sources.
Romanian media reported the plane was heading toward the US, with its final destination suspected to be Florida, citing “airport sources.”
Andrew, 38, and Tristan, 36, were arrested in Bucharest in Dec. 2022 on charges of rape, trafficking minors, and money laundering along with two Romanian women.
The brothers, both former kickboxers and dual British-US citizens, were restricted from leaving the country since December 2023.
However, a Romanian court ruled that the brothers could leave the country as long as they stayed within the European Union in early July 2024, according to the BBC.
