Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have flown from Romania to Dubai on a huge private jet dubbed Tate Force One after being required to report to a police station in Bucharest.
The pair, under investigation for human trafficking and other alleged crimes, had been obliged to return from the US to Romania to check in with authorities as part of their probation conditions.
They did that on March 24 and are now at liberty to travel until they must next present themselves before Romanian authorities in two months.
In a video post on X titled 'Tate Force One – take-off', Andrew Tate offered a tour of the jet's cream-coloured seating areas, conference tables, living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms and luxury furnishings.
The 38-year-old was wearing a blue top, dark trousers and sunglasses while his brother Tristan, 36, wore a flamboyant pink suit and a dark shirt.
'Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate have departed Bucharest, Romania, for Dubai, for a leisure visit,' a spokesman for the brothers said. '(They) wish to reaffirm their respect for the Romanian judicial system and its commitment to due process, which they have consistently supported throughout the duration of their case.
'In accordance with the recently implemented judicial regulations, they will return to Romania within the stipulated two-month timeframe to comply fully with all legal requirements.'
On Monday, the Romanian authorities returned all the brothers' previously seized vehicles, 'pursuant to a favourable ruling by a Romanian judge', the spokesman said.
The cars include an Aston Martin Vanquish Volante V12, a Porsche Cayman GT4 RS, a Porsche 911 GTstreet R, a McLaren 765, a Lamborghini Huracan Evo LP 640, a Ferrari 458 Italia, a Rolls-Royce Wraith V12, a Ferrari 812 Superfast and two Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Prior to their return to Romania, the brothers, who are fervent admirers of Donald Trump, had spent a few weeks in the US.
Andrew Tate has described himself as the 'king of toxic masculinity' and has voiced misogynistic opinions.
He doubled down on those opinions in a recent social media post in which he accused women of engaging in 'weaponised victimhood, isolating men from their children, and brutal ungratefulness for their protectors and providers'.
In a post that has been viewed 384,000 times, he added: 'Men are not the predators. Women are.' He has 10.7 million followers on X alone.
The brothers are under investigation in Romania for forming an organised criminal group, human trafficking, trafficking of minors and money laundering. Andrew Tate also faces allegations of rape and sex with a minor.
They were arrested in Romania in late 2022 and accused of duping young women, transporting them to Romania and subjecting them to sexual exploitation.
Seven women have told investigators that they were led to believe they were entering into romantic relationships with the brothers. They then allegedly found themselves being kept at a property in Bucharest where they were compelled to appear in pornographic videos that were uploaded online.
The brothers deny all the charges and have vowed to clear their names.
Andrew Tate said recently: 'I am investigated everywhere on the planet, because I am one of the most important people on the planet.'
A senior British police commander warned last week of his influence on young men.
Gavin Stephens, chairman of the National Police Chiefs' Council, said the popularity of the controversial influencer had become 'ubiquitous' among young boys.
'Whether you talk to educators or others, the harmful effect of Tate is plain to see,' he said.
'Young men are being influenced, drawn into this horrible material. It's really concerning and worrying, the scale of the threat.'
In a recent lawsuit, a former girlfriend of Andrew Tate accused him of sexual assault and violent behaviour.
Brianna Stern said he initially acted in a kind and loving manner but later turned abusive.
In the lawsuit, filed last week in Los Angeles, she accused him of choking and beating her during sex in a hotel in Beverly Hills.
A lawyer for Mr Tate said his client denied all allegations of violence.
Four British women are suing him in the UK after the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to prosecute him on sexual violence and other abuse charges.
