Andrew and Tristan Tate have left Romania for the United States after Romanian prosecutors lifted their travel ban, despite both facing human trafficking and rape charges. Their sudden departure follows reports that a Trump administration official inquired about their case at the Munich Security Conference, raising concerns of political interference.
Prosecutors approved the Tates’ request to leave, though they are still required to return to Romania for trial. Critics, including former Romanian judge Cristi Danilet, called the decision unprecedented, stating, “I have never heard of a foreign government asking Romania to lift preventive measures.”
Victims’ rights advocates and alleged victims in both Romania and the U.K. condemned the decision, fearing the Tates will now evade prosecution. Four British women accusing Andrew Tate of sexual assault said they felt “re-traumatized”, warning that he could intimidate witnesses while continuing to spread his influence online.
Despite Romanian prosecutors insisting their legal cases remain active, concerns persist about whether the Tates will comply with a required return by March. The Trump administration has not commented on the decision to allow their travel.
