Thousands of people are tracking the flight of a private plane suspected to be carrying brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate from Romania back to the U.S.
The Gulfstream G550 jet, which took off from Romania, was the most-watched flight on FlightTracker, an open-source site used to follow commercial and private planes, early on Thursday, with more than 3,000 users following its route at the time of publication.
Self-described “misogynists” Andrew and Tristan Tate were detained in December 2022 in Bucharest and charged in 2023 with human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. They deny all charges.
The American citizens have been under travel restrictions. It is not clear under what conditions the Tates were allowed to leave Romania.
The brothers left Baneasa airport in Romanian capital Bucharest shortly after 5 a.m. local time this morning, the BBC reported.
Aviation journalist Josh Cahill wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday that he was “99% sure” the plane being heavily tracked is carrying the two brothers.
“The flight path also suggest that it is headed for Florida. No other private jet has departed Romania today,” he wrote.
This is a breaking story.
