Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate has checked in at a police station following his return to Romania.

Tate, alongside his brother Tristan Tate, flew to the US on a private jet last month after a travel ban imposed on them during a human trafficking investigation was lifted.

A lawyer acting on behalf of the brothers previously said the Tates were due to check in with a surveillance officer on Monday.

Tate posted on X to say there were “100 cameras” when he arrived at a police station.

In Romania, the Tate brothers are facing allegations of trafficking minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering.

A separate case against them, in which they are accused of human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, has been sent back to prosecutors.

The pair are due to be extradited to the UK following the conclusion of proceedings in Romania, after Bedfordshire Police secured a European arrest warrant for further separate allegations of rape and human trafficking involving different women.

Those allegations, which the two brothers “unequivocally deny”, date back to 2012-2015.

The Trump administration reportedly pressed the Romanian government to lift travel restrictions on the brothers last month, before they were allowed to fly to Florida.

Speaking about whether he would go back to the US and how long he would stay in Romania after leaving the police station on Monday, Tate told reporters: “I’m not convicted of any crimes, I’m a free person who has not been convicted of anything… so I can take a holiday wherever I want.

“I can go to Greece, I can go to Australia, I could go anywhere I like so I’m not sure – but for now, I’m happy to be back in Romania, this is where I live, I love Romania very much.

“I’m going to spend the next few weeks in Romania, probably, unless I decide spontaneously to leave – and I will do that as long as I obey my obligation to the court, which I of course will do, I’m allowed to go anywhere I like.”

Asked how often he would go to the police station, Tate said: “If they call me, I’ll come. If they don’t call me, I’ll be busy living my life.”
