France’s Court of Cassation has definitively rejected the appeal filed by Paul of Romania against his extradition to Romania for the execution of his jail sentence. Former justice minister Radu Marinescu weighed in on the ruling, arguing that it is a remarkable success for the Romanian judicial authorities. He added that Paul of Romania joins the list of well-known convicted or criminally investigated persons brought to Romania. Paul of Romania was arrested at his residence in Paris and imprisoned on April 7, 2025, and was subsequently placed under judicial supervision. Paul’s lawyer denounced “the greatest political scandal ever experienced by a royal family,” in connection with the “inheritance dispute.”
