2. SOUNDBITE (English) Andrew Tate, Internet influencer:
"We live in a democratic society where it’s innocent until proven guilty. And I think my brother and I are largely misunderstood. There’s a lot of opinions about us, things that go around about us on the internet. We’ve yet to be convicted of any crime in our lives ever. We have no criminal record anywhere on the planet, ever. Our case was dismissed on the 19th of December in Romania under the Biden administration, and our prosecutor recently decided, because we have no active indictment in court, to let us go and return. This is a democratic society. It’s supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, as my brother and I are. And I think it’s extremely important that we stop allowing media spin, wrap up smears, lies, or carefully constructed narratives from George Soros-funded operations trying to destroy the reputations of good people who have no intention to do anything other than follow the law."

STORYLINE:
Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate have arrived in the U.S. from Romania after authorities lifted travel restrictions imposed as part of a legal case.

The brothers are charged with human trafficking in Romania.

They were arrested in late 2022 and formally indicted last year on charges they participated in a criminal ring that lured women to Romania, where they were sexually exploited. Andrew Tate was also charged with rape.

They deny the allegations. In December, a court ruled that the case couldn’t go to trial because of multiple legal and procedural irregularities on the part of the prosecutors.

But the case remained open, and there is also another ongoing investigation against them in Romania.
