Breakfast news (ITV) is reporting that these brothers have left Romania by private jet, heading for America.

This is after pressure was put on the Romanian government by the Trump administration.

The Tates have joint U.K. USA nationality.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse…

I’m beyond incensed with rage 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Me too. I wanted to cry when I saw the headline. I feel like we’re going back to the Stone Age.

The Handmaid’s Tale gets closer every day.

Re-united with their misogenistic friends in the states..

Romanian (sorry - typo).

They’re flying to the US on a private jet.

Here’s a list of assets, previously seized by Rumanian authorities, they say have now been returned to them:

Five properties and a partial share of another property.

Six cars: an Audi A5, Nissan Murano, Lada 1500, Mercedes-Benz V-Klasse, Audi RS 7 Sportback and a Ferrari 488 GTB.

All previously frozen bank accounts have been unfrozen.

Company shares.

This new world order gets darker and murkier by the minutesad

They’ve had the majority of their assets returned too, bank accounts, cars etc
This has Trump all over it

That might be but for Trump to interfere in another country' court proceedings that is absolutely dreadful and beyond the pale.
Who does Trump think he is , because whatever his idea is of his role in life it is time that he is put right.

It doesn't matter which country the Tates are in as they get their worldwide followers online. I feel as though I have gone through the looking glass and ended up in a place where fair is foul and foul is fair. What in the name of the wee man are Trump and his acolytes doing?

Exactly! In this “internet” world predators are not contained within their own country.

Every time I read something connected with Trump it gets worse. I'm appalled.

No keepingquiet they’ve had their passports returned while the case against them in Bucharest is being ‘rearranged’ not sure what that means.
I’m appalled and can see them getting away Scot free.

Rather like so many abusers who have come to live here. Rapists allowed to go scot free because, domestic abusers not caught, paedophiles allowed to carry on with their vile trade.
I'm more worried about what is going on in this country, never mind the US. That is their problem, not ours.

They have joint citizenship of the USA and UK. I hope they don’t bring their poison here but I do feel upset for all the Americans that don’t agree with what Trump is up to.

I'm no fan of MAGA, but when they get their hands on the Tates the ensuing carnage will be off the scale.

Mojack26 Thu 27-Feb-25 13:28:43

As long as they stay in US with their Trump buddies! Despicable pair

I suspect that allegations against these men will be " forgotten". They are, of course, vocal supporters of Mr Trump. Sadly, I fear that the brothers will feel right at home in the Brave New World being initiated by the new team at the White House.

Yes, I feel they are on their way to join the team in the US, and will be welcomed like returning heroes.

vampirequeen Thu 27-Feb-25 13:24:56

These men will fit well in Trumps new USA. They despise women, treating them as a commodity rather than people. They are the scrapings off the bottom of the barrels. Trump and his ilk will welcome them with open arms.

The only saving grace is they are not in the UK - horrible criminals - they'll be Trump's left hand men - Musk occupies his right - I hope the USA makes all of them pay for the misogyny, trafficking and general being evil individuals in 3 years 11 months time

keepingquiet Thu 27-Feb-25 13:15:46

No, he hates his supporters and has said so publicly many times. Maye, that's just the poor ones, though? These guys are filthy rich, literally, and so are the sort Trump would admire.

Thanks everyone for making me realise this news wasn't fake, even so everyone knows they won't return for trial in Romania and it won't be easy getting them to the UK either.

The criminals are in charge now aren't they? Gangsters rule in the world it seems...

AGAA4 Thu 27-Feb-25 12:16:33

They supported Trump through the elections. He loves his supporters.

Oldbat1 Thu 27-Feb-25 11:41:35

Both of them are horrible people but Trump thinks differently. Disgraceful!

ViceVersa Thu 27-Feb-25 11:15:06

How many evil people have committed heinous crimes over the years and justified their actions by claiming they were acting 'under the instruction of god'?

Churchview Thu 27-Feb-25 10:40:18

"acting under the instruction of God to do good things".

"God saved me to save America."

If what I've read about God is true he's really not going to side with these guys.

There's no way they will return in 2 months. Romania has said "they are still under investigation" and "remain under judicial control"

The BBC timeline does have a lot of details and snippets of what these brothers are like

"Tate has described himself as a "self-made multi-millionaire" and said he earned money through "a little webcam business from my apartment".
"I had 75 women working for me in four locations and I was doing $600,000 a month from webcam," he said in a podcast interview.
In a now-deleted page on his website, he said he brought women into the "adult entertainment industry".

"My job was to meet a girl, go on a few dates, sleep with her, test if she's quality, get her to fall in love with me to where she'd do anything I say and then get her on webcam so we could become rich together," he wrote on the page - which was subsequently taken down in February 2022"

"They are accused of crimes including trafficking and rape, very serious charges which they have denied. They have said in previous statements they want to clear their name in a Romanian court.

"When the BBC put a range of allegations to him - including specific accusations of rape, human trafficking and exploiting women, for which he is being investigated by Romanian prosecutors - he dismissed them.
When pushed on whether his controversial views on women harmed young people, the influencer claimed he was a "force for good" and that he was "acting under the instruction of God to do good things".

Once they touch down in the United States the Tates will portray this as a great victory, they have been under investigation for over two years and now they have managed to leave the country."

Quite Cossy.
