Self-styled ‘misogynist influencer’ and brother, who face trial on charges including rape and people trafficking, had been banned from leaving Romania

The self-styled “misogynist influencer” Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan arrived in Florida on Thursday after flying from Romania to the US in a private jet, as prosecutors suspended their travel ban and a court lifted a precautionary seizure on some of their assets.

The pair, who were arrested in Romania in 2022 and face trial on charges of rape, sex with a minor, people trafficking and money laundering, took off from Băneasa airport in Bucharest for Fort Lauderdale at 6am (4am GMT), officials confirmed.
