Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate arrive in Romania after weeks in the United States

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — After weeks in the United States, influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate arrived early Saturday back in Romania, where they face charges of human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

The Tates, who are dual U.S. and British citizens, were arrested in Romania in late 2022 and formally indicted last year on charges that they participated in a criminal ring that lured women to Romania, where they were allegedly sexually exploited. Andrew Tate was also charged with rape. They deny all of the allegations against them.

The brothers’ plane — which Andrew Tate said earlier in a post on X cost $185,000 to “jet across the Atlantic to sign one single piece of paper” — landed at Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport shortly before 1.00 a.m. local time Saturday morning (2300 GMT, Friday).

After arriving at their residence near the capital, Bucharest, Andrew Tate told reporters they returned because “innocent men don’t run from anything” and he vowed to clear his name in court.

Was it a check from or to the Rapist in Chief? And how was such filth let into the country when decent people are detained and chained?

No need to supply the obvious answer.
