Tate brothers share their thoughts on arriving in Florida and possibly meeting Trump after ‘victims’ worry about not getting justice.

ANDREW Tate has made a statement after he and Tristan landed in Florida, as speculations grow over a potential meeting with Donald Trump.

The nefarious siblings successfully escaped Romania thanks to pressure from Trump officials, who urged the Romanian government to lift their house arrest and lift the travel ban imposed on them.

Speaking outside the airport, Andrew stated, “In a democratic society, individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and I believe that my brother and I have been greatly misconstrued.

“There are a lot of opinions and a lot of things that go around about us on the internet.

“We are yet to be convicted of any crimes in our lives ever, we have no criminal record anywhere on the planet.

Our legal case was closed on December 19 in Romania during the Biden administration, and our prosecutor has recently determined that since we are not currently facing any charges in court, we are free to leave and come back.”

“This is a democratic society where people are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty as my brother and I are.

“I think it’s extremely important that we stop letting media spin wrap up smears, lies, and carefully constructed narratives try to destroy the reputations of good people who have no intentions to do anything other than follow the law.”

Tristan stood behind his brother and remained silent before the pair both left quickly in a black SUV surrounded by bodyguards.

They refused to answer any questions, including if Donald Trump had helped lift their travel ban and if they would return to Romania.

At the same time, Trump stated to reporters this evening that he knows nothing about the Tate case and Romania.

However according to Andrew and Tristan’s lawyer, Joseph McBride, the “primary” reason they felt able to return to the States is because “Donald Trump is the president”.

“As a result, they are excited to call America their home again,” the lawyer added.

McBride also said they “plan to return to Romania at the end of March to meet the prosecutor before returning to the United States”.

Andrew’s statement comes after self-confessed sexist Andrew, 38, and Tristan, 36, left their home in Romania early this morning to board a Gulfstream G550 private jet bound for Fort Lauderdale.

Flight radar showed the plane landing in Florida at 4pm (UK time).

Distant footage showed the two brothers leaving the jet, which set off from Romania some 12 hours ago.

An image began circulating on social media early Thursday showing Tristan waving as he boarded a jet.

Meanwhile, Florida’s governor, Republican Ron DeSantis, said he had no advanced warning the pair were flying there and “found out through the media”.

“No, Florida is not a place where you’re welcome with that type of conduct,” DeSantis told reporters at an unrelated press conference.

There are tensions between DeSantis and Trump after the Florida governor unsuccessfully ran against the President during the 2024 Republican nominations.

After learning of the Tate brothers’ arrival, DeSantis said he and the state’s top law enforcement official would be looking into ways to challenge the move.

The Tate’s unexpected move to flee Romania under darkness has prompted many alleged victims of Andrew to voice their concerns over what this may now mean for the ongoing court case.

The pariah pair – facing trial over rape and sex trafficking allegations – supported Trump during last year’s election campaign after being banned from travelling while awaiting trial.

The Tate brothers are also accused of rape and human trafficking in the UK, where Bedfordshire police are seeking to extradite them.

The brothers, who are dual UK and US citizens, deny any wrongdoing.

Among the women include four Brits who have lodged accusations saying Andrew raped and coercively controlled them.

They previously urged Trump to stay out of the case.

Sources in capital Bucharest told The Sun that the ban was lifted for a month after intensive US lobbying – allowing them to deal with business issues in the US.

A source in Bucharest told The Sun: “They’ve been allowed to leave on the condition that they come back for court hearings and cooperate with the investigation.

“But legal experts here seem to think the case against them is flawed and they are confident the charges will be dropped.”

Jack Beeston, a lawyer representing the alleged victims, says the women have been left “extremely upset” and even “re-traumatised” to see Andrew has managed to flee Romania.

Another fear is how the move to the US could impact the ongoing investigations against both Andrew and Tristan.

Beeston told Times Radio earlier today one of their biggest fears is a “greatly increased risk that the Tates will never stand trial”.

These concerns have grown stronger in recent hours ever since Trump’s involvement in lifting their travel ban was announced.

Sources in the Romanian capital of Bucharest told The Sun today, that intensive pressure from the US helped to free the Tates.

Close Trump aide Kash Patel and the new director of the FBI are believed to have played a key role in the talks.

The new Trump administration has reportedly made several attempts to put pressure on the Romanian government to lift travel restrictions on the Tate brothers.

US officials are even said to have discussed their case with their Romanian counterparts, The Financial Times reports.

It is also claimed that Trump’s special envoy Richard Grenell personally met Romania’s foreign minister to discuss the case.

Reports suggest a request was made by the US administration to return the brothers’ passports while legal proceedings continue.

The pariah Tate brothers have always been vocal Trump supporters and vehemently campaigned for the Republican during last year’s presidential campaign.

Beeston added: “The timing is very curious and it’s also clear that the Tates have been extremely publicly supportive of Trump.

“I would expect upon landing in the United States that there will be significant fanfare and a number of media appearances and it wouldn’t necessarily surprise me if they didn’t meet Trump himself.”

Downing Street says they are aware of the brothers being on the move to the US but will not comment on the possibility of them being extradited to the UK.

A No 10 spokesman said: “This remains a live case, you wouldn’t expect us to comment on ongoing legal proceedings.

“This was a decision taken by the Romanian courts independently following due process and their investigation remains in place.

“But more widely, the Prime Minister has been clear that human trafficking should be viewed as a global security threat, similar to terrorism.”

Sir Keir Starmer is expected to raise the concerns with President Trump when they meet later today in Washington.

Four British women who allege they were raped and coercively controlled by Andrew Tate have urged Donald Trump to stay out of the case against him.

Romanian Special Prosecutor’s service, Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT), who have been leading investigations against the Tates released a statement earlier today.

They made it clear both are still under investigation with the case not dropped.

The brothers will also have to return to Bucharest later this year to adhere to the terms of their “judicial control” status, DIICOT added.

Their next court hearing is scheduled for March, according to local media.

In December, British cops were allowed to seize more than £2million from the pair after the pair didn’t pay taxes.

The brothers failed to pay any tax on £21million in revenue from their online businesses — now held in seven frozen bank accounts.

Andrew said at the time: “This isn’t justice, it’s a co-ordinated attack on those who challenge the system.”

Cops are seeking their extradition to the UK for similar allegations here.

Footage in August showed armed cops storming their home through the roof after being blocked by “bulletproof doors”.

Masked officers raided the controversial influencer’s home amid a probe into new allegations of trafficking and sex with a minor.

Andrew moved to Romania years ago after first starting a webcam business in the UK.
