It comes after the Trump administration lobbied their Romanian counterparts to ease the constraints.
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have left Romania and are bound for the United States after a travel ban on them was lifted.
According to reports from G4Media.ro, they boarded a private plane from the country earlier this morning.
The pair had been banned from leaving Romania since December 2023, while awaiting trial on several counts – including allegations of trafficking minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering. They deny all charges.
The brothers – who are dual U.S.-British citizens – were arrested near Bucharest in late 2022 along with two Romanian women.
Andrew Tate is also facing criminal accusations of sexual misconduct in the UK. He has repeatedly denied those allegations.
Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, said in a statement Thursday that prosecutors approved a “request to modify the obligation preventing the defendants from leaving Romania,” but that judicial control measures remained in place.
In other words, the brothers are “required to check in with judicial authorities every time they are called.”
Andrew and Tristan Tate are keen supporters of US President Donald Trump.
Romanian foreign minister Emil Hurezeanu said the Tates were mentioned during his brief hallway meeting with Mr Trump’s special envoy Richard Grenell at the Munich Security Conference earlier this month.
A report published by the Financial Times last week indicated that figures in Trump’s administration were pressuring the Romanian authorities to relax travel restrictions on the Tates.
Andrew Tate has been banned from TikTok, YouTube and Facebook after the platforms accused him of posting hate speech and misogynistic comments, including that women should bear responsibility for being sexually assaulted.
He remains popular on X, with more than 10 million followers. In July last year, senior police officers in the UK warned that influencers like Tate could radicalise social media followers into extreme misogyny.
