Andrew and Tristan Tate are returning to the United States after Romanian prosecutors agreed to lift travel restrictions imposed as part of a sex trafficking case there.

The brothers have denied the charges and are suing at least one of their accusers, a Florida woman who traveled to Romania, for alleged defamation.

The Tates are social media influencers with a following of over 10 million. They describe themselves as entrepreneurs, and Andrew Tate, 38, is a former kickboxer and MMA fighter.

Their homecoming comes after the Financial Times reported that U.S. officials expressed interest in the brothers’ case to their Romanian counterparts at least twice in recent days.

“Jane Doe did the right thing by telling the truth of what she saw and experienced while she was in Romania to Romanian authorities,” her lawyer, Dani Pinter, said in a statement. “And for that, Andrew and Tristan Tate have worked to ruin her life by suing her and her parents – an abuse of the legal system and blatant witness intimidation.”

In the brothers’ 2023 lawsuit, they accused Doe of fabricating evidence against them. It also names her parents and two friends as defendants for their role in a phone call alerting U.S. embassy officials in Romania to Doe’s alleged trafficking.
