Tate brothers have left Romania and are on their way to the US - reports

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are reportedly on a flight from Romania to the United States after previously having travel restrictions imposed on them.

They took a private plane from the country to the US on Thursday morning, according to Romanian media.

G4media.ro reported the brothers were on a flight to Florida, citing "airport sources".

Romanian prosecutors on Thursday said they had approved a request from Andrew Tate to travel outside of the country, pending the outcome of a criminal investigation.

It comes after the Trump administration lobbied their Romanian counterparts to ease the constraints, according to a report in The Financial Times last week.

The controversial influencer, 38, and his sibling, 36, are facing a series of criminal charges in the country.

The pair had been released from house arrest, but were not allowed to leave Romania and were required to check in with the police regularly.

They deny charges of human trafficking, sexual misconduct and money laundering, as well as starting an organised crime group.

Andrew Tate - a champion of Donald Trump - along with his brother are dual US and UK nationals.

The brothers are fighting a series of legal battles not just in Romania, but the UK and now also the US.

The Tate brothers have consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with all the legal action taking place.

Sky News has approached a spokeswoman for the brothers but she has not yet confirmed their departure.
