They went to Romania because of it's excellent legal system right? No wait, they went there because they thought it was a highly corrupt system in which they could pay their way out of their crimes.

...and now they're going to get prosecuted because they're a highly visible case.

Definitely wise to pick an EU member state to escape the law. This guy has probably never heard of extradition.

EU countries are good place to escape if you're expecting a death sentence or "inhuman" jail conditions (ie. torture, rat cell, etc). Otherwise it's useless

It's only highly visible because he bragged about paying cops hush money. What Tate failed to realize is that hush money applies to both parties. The party accepting the bribe, and the party offering the bribe.

Not just that, but he also publicly bragged about how lax Romania's laws and how they don't care about rape during an administration that is attempting, at least on the surface, to change public perception of themselves worldwide from the corrupt governments of the 90s and 2000s.
