Controversial influencer Andrew Tate, a self-described misogynist and who is accused of assault and human trafficking in Romania, has returned to a state less than excited to welcome him back.

Just off a private plane from Romania with his similarly controversial brother Tristan, Tate was immediately at the center of criminal investigation in Florida. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), immediately said that Tate’s kind of behavior was “not welcome” in the state, which resulted in Tate spamming his account with constant tweets denouncing the governor.

Attorney General James Uthmeier, who has referred to the brothers’ behavior as atrocious, posted to X, “We will continue working with our law enforcement and partners around the world to fight human trafficking and sexual abuse.”

The Tate’s attorney Joseph McBride responded in a statement, insisting Florida’s investigation is merely “a weak attempt by a lame-duck governor to hold on to power and an unknown attorney general aiming to build his reputation.” He further complained that Uthmeier’s comments were “malicious and defamatory.”

The Tates have a host of allegations against them and are under a criminal investigation in Romania for charges including human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. While laws explicitly prevent the Tates from leaving Romania during the investigation, these restrictions were lifted last month. It has been speculated that a private deal between the Trump administration and prosecutors was arranged to allow the brothers – strong supporters of Donald Trump – to return to the U.S..

The Tate brothers are required to return to Romania within the month in order to answer bail conditions. Following that, Tate has said he plans to become a permanent Florida resident.
