Andrew Tate and Brother Allowed to Travel in EU Amid Trial for Serious Charges
Andrew Tate, a self-proclaimed misogynist influencer, and his brother Tristan have been granted permission by a Romanian court to leave Romania but must remain within the European Union pending their trial on charges of human trafficking and rape.
The court’s ruling allows the Tate brothers and two other defendants to travel freely within the EU until their trial. A spokesperson for the Tate brothers called the decision a ‘significant victory and a major step forward’ in their legal battle.
In a video posted online, Andrew Tate dismissed the case against him as a ‘sham’ and hinted at potential travel plans within Europe. He asked, ‘My judges decided … I’m allowed to leave Romania, so do we take the (Ferrari) SF90 to Italy, do we take the (Maserati) MC20 to Cannes, do we take the (Ferrari) 812 Competition to Paris, where do I go?’
Andrew Tate gained internet fame with controversial content on platforms like TikTok, focusing on themes of male dominance, female submission, and wealth accumulation.
Earlier in April, a Bucharest court decided to proceed with a trial against the Tate brothers on charges of human trafficking and rape. The brothers, along with two Romanian citizens, were arrested in December 2022 and formally indicted in June 2023. They face accusations of human trafficking, rape, and organising a criminal group to exploit women sexually, allegations they vehemently deny.
