Paul de Romania was remanded in custody in Malta

Paul de Romania was remanded in custody in Malta until May 9, announced Alina Gorghiu, the Minister of Justice. He was detained on Sunday in a resort in this state.

“From the information we have, his request to be released on bail was rejected, a decision that can be appealed.

As you know, he was sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison for committing the crimes of buying influence and complicity in abuse of office, in the Ferma Băneasa case.

The Ministry of Justice will continue its efforts and make efforts for Prince Paul to serve his sentence in Romania, as it does with any fugitive from the Romanian state.

We will inform you about the subsequent procedural steps. We will provide all the necessary documents and information for the court in Malta to accept the surrender of the fugitive”, stated Alina Gorghiu in a post on Facebook.

Paul of Romania, detained in a luxury hotel in Malta

Paul Phillipe of Romania, one of the famous fugitives from our country, was caught on Sunday 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.
