the controversial social media influencer andrew tate the pair, who hold dual uk—us nationality, had their us but officials said charges of rape and human trafficking against them — which they deny — have not been dropped. reports from bucharest. andrew and tristan tate's sudden, dramatic departure from romania is the latest twist in a tale which has made first detained by romanian police in december 2022, injune 2023, andrew tate was formally charged in romania with rape, human trafficking and forming organised crime group

to sexually exploit women. in december 2023, the tate brothers were ordered not to leave romania after they made a request in the uk by four women alleging rape and assault, which he also denies. and today, they are travelling to the us. on romania, a key us ally in europe, began soon give in to us pressure.

as far as we consider sitting here, interfering in due process here in the uk. but the tates flew out of romania this morning with the blessing of the romanian authorities after their us passports were returned to them. and will be expected to return to romania to face trial. well, the romanian authorities say they accepted a request from the tate brothers to be able to leave the country but insist the tates are still under has not been dropped.

in the last few minutes, a lawyerfor women bringing talking to the bbc. it's not my reaction that's important. and they're just disgusted. dismayed, distraught. they don't understand how this could happen. the world intervene on on the behalf of one of the world's worst and most prolific alleged sex theyjust don't understand it. you mean donald trump? i do mean donald trump. yes. are you clear that he's been involved in this? i know the trump administration has been involved, one must think that it's come with his blessing. do you have an understanding of what the process has been, how this decision

has been reached? but it has happened. the reports are that this morning where they'll be landing shortly. that you're looking to bring? that will go ahead. but the concern is here that there will be no criminal prosecution of the tates for their alleged crimes. i don't think they'll ever face justice in romania now. for having let them leave. i think it's fanciful to think that they'll return. there is an extradition request by the uk authorities for the tates' extradition to england. that request was made to romania and approved.

there is a treaty between the uk and us for extradition, but whether the trump administration will honour that in the case of the tates, ijust don't know. given the support that they've given the tates to date, respect the international treaty, the extradition treaty between the uk and us in respect of extradition. the lawyer matthew durie to bbc the the lawyer matthew dur little to bbc the the lawyer matthew dur little to i bbc the the lawyer matthew dur little to i b show:he �* live pictures from your live pictures from florida, from fort lauderdale, floride:from fort lauderdale. we are in the where we are expecting, in the next little while, where the next little white. where the—~ ~ ~ , , ~ brothers are next tittte white; where the—~ ~ ~ , , ~ brothers are expected to tate brothers are expected to land relatively shortly, that gee the . . . . thiepizcturesx . . . the pictures are . . . the pictures are being is why the pictures are being sent by the agencies around the so we so we continue to watch, . sf .. . .. ,. l. .. h... of course this and of course this news coming as major surprise early in as a major surprise early in the day, when sources
