Earlier in February, some of Andrew Tate's alleged victims said they were "extremely concerned" by reports that US officials had asked for his travel restrictions to be relaxed.

It came after US special envoy Richard Grenell raised the Tate brothers with Romania's Foreign Minister Emil Hurezeanu at the Munich Security Conference.

The Tates have been vocal supporters of US President Donald Trump, while his close adviser, Elon Musk, restored Andrew Tate's account on X after he bought the social media platform in 2022.

Tates getting seized cars and properties back, says spokesman, as they fly to Florida

The list of assets they say have been returned includes:

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

I feel sad for their victims having to see the Tates essentially getting off scott-free.

It's so weird, why does the trump administration care about sex offenders so much? He really does though.

"Ooo, I know! We'll distract them with an actual rapist while we rape their government behind their backs, and loot the National Treasury" - Trump Admin

You're smoke screen is less than convincing.

It was really, really hard to get info on this. I think they're actually trying to hide this one and make it go away. Tate must know something, Musk reinstated him on xitter when he bought it as well.

My guess: one of them will be parachuted in to replace Farage as the Musk-approved leader of Reform UK, and presumably the next UK Prime Minister.
