Paul Lambrio will find out if he remains in custody there pending the extradition process.
Paul Phillipe of Romania, one of the famous fugitives from our country, was caught yesterday in Malta, where he had gone after being released on bail by a court in France. He was in a resort, on vacation, from where he was picked up by the police. He had been on the run for almost four years from Romania, where he was sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison.
The European arrest warrant against him was still active, even though France three weeks ago decided to refuse his extradition. The Romanian police collaborated with the Maltese police and picked him up right from the resort where he was staying.
On April 6, France refused to extradite Paul from Romania, and the decision is final. The French court rejected the surrender citing the illegal composition of the court panel in Romania, more precisely the fact that one of the judges would not have taken the oath when taking office, the Minister of Justice, Alina Gorghiu, said.
At the time, Gorghiu claimed that the French court had obviously exceeded its powers assigned by the JAI framework decision 2002/584 regarding the European arrest warrant. The prosecutor of the case declared an appeal, but did not justify the appeal within the deadline, so he was denied the deadline, and the decision of the first instance remained final.
The Minister of Justice, Alina Gorghiu, said on Thursday, about Paul’s extradition from Romania, that she still has no answer from her French counterpart regarding his situation, whose extradition was definitively rejected by the French judiciary due to a procedural flaw.
Paul Philipe Al Romania was the subject of a European arrest warrant issued on December 18, 2020, one day after he was definitively sentenced in Romania to three years and four months in prison with execution in the case of the illegal retrocession of the Royal Farm in Băneasa. In this case, 18 people were convicted, including Israeli businessmen Tal Silberstein and Beny Steinmetz, and the damage to the state was estimated by the prosecutors at 145 million euros. He was provisionally arrested on June 27, 2022, in France, in order to execute the European arrest warrant issued by the Romanian judicial authorities, based on the final judgment of conviction.
Paul Philippe, with French, British and Romanian citizenship, was never recognized as a member of the royal family by his uncle Mihai, the last king of Romania, who died in 2017.
