Andrew and Tristan Tate informed followers on Friday that they were on a flight back to Romania, where the influencer brothers face human trafficking charges. "Spending $185,000 on a private jet across the Atlantic to sign one single piece of paper in Romania," Andrew Tate posted on X. "Innocent men don't run. They clear their name in court." The Tates traveled to Florida last month, which was the first time they had left Romania since they were arrested in 2022. But the brothers, who have dual US-UK citizenship, remain under judicial supervision and have to report to Romanian authorities on Monday, per AFP.
They face investigations into and allegations of crimes including rape, human trafficking, sexual assault, and tax evasion in other countries, as well as in Florida. The brothers deny any wrongdoing. A group advocating for justice for women has started a campaign to have the Tate brothers extradited to the UK, where sexual misconduct charges await them, with the slogan, "Unwanted in Miami."
