British-American influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have returned from the US to Romania, where they face human trafficking and other charges.

Axar.az reports, citing BBC, speaking to the press outside their house in Bucharest, the brothers said they were back because "innocent men don't run from anything."

"We've come here to prove our innocence because we deserve our day in court," Andrew Tate added.

Andrew Tate earlier told his 10.8 million followers on X that he had spent $185,000 on a private jet alongside his brother to "sign one single piece of paper in Romania."

The brothers, who are dual US-UK citizens, arrived in the US at the end of February after Romanian prosecutors lifted a two-year travel ban.

They told reporters they loved Romania and were "never going to leave" but would take holidays if and when they felt like it.

Andrew Tate, 38, is a self-proclaimed "misogynist" who claims to have made millions from social media despite being previously banned from platforms for his views.

He and Tristan, 36, are accused of human trafficking and forming an organised group to sexually exploit women in Romania. Andrew Tate is also accused of rape.

The brothers are also the subjects of a separate investigation in the UK into allegations of rape and human trafficking.

In the US they face a civil case from a woman who alleges the brothers coerced her into sex work, and then defamed her after she gave evidence to Romanian authorities. They deny the allegations against them.
