French court definitively rejects appeal filed by Paul of Romania against extradition

France’s Court of Cassation definitively rejected an appeal filed by Paul of Romania on Wednesday, July 29, clearing the way for his extradition to Romania. The ruling confirms the execution of a European arrest warrant, requiring him to return to the country to serve a jail sentence.

The decision marks the final legal hurdle in the extradition process within the French judicial system. Paul of Romania had sought to challenge the transfer, but the court’s latest ruling makes the decision to execute the warrant final, ending his efforts to avoid being sent back to Romania to face his conviction.
