“Misogynist Influencer” Andrew Tate Granted EU Travel Permission Amidst Human Trafficking Trial

Andrew Tate, the controversial “misogynist influencer” has been granted permission to leave Romania while awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking and rape.

A Romanian court ruled that Tate, 37, can travel freely within the EU without restrictions until his trial commences.

“It was a good decision,” an attorney for Tate said. “It’s natural that things are going more and more relaxed in time.”

Tate, his brother Tristan, and two Romanian female suspects were indicted in June 2023 on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to exploit women sexually across Romania, Britain and the United States. They have all denied the allegations. 

In April, a Bucharest court ruled that their trial could proceed, a decision that Tate has appealed. Pending the appeal ruling, the suspects had been barred from leaving Romania. However, the recent court decision lifted this restriction within the EU.

Tate has amassed millions of followers on his social media by promoting ideas of masculinity based on misogyny, opposition of feminism and dominance. He is also a far-right activist and a former professional kickboxer.

Following the decision, Tate expressed his relief on social media platform X, writing, “I am free. For the first time in 3 years I can leave Romania. The sham case is falling apart.” In a video on the same platform, he mused about his travel plans, asking, “Do we take the [Ferrari] SF90 to Italy, the [Maserati] MC20 to Cannes, the [Ferrari] 812 Competition to Paris, where do I go?”

Tate and his brother have claimed that their wealth had made them targets of a sham trial and a conspiracy to silence them.
