Overview
- The Constanța Court of Appeal rejected as inadmissible Wiz Khalifa’s bid to annul his sentence and deemed his request to suspend it unfounded.
- Khalifa’s nine-month term stems from a December conviction for “possession of dangerous drugs, without right, for personal consumption.”
- Prosecutors say he had more than 18 grams of cannabis and smoked on stage during the Beach, Please! Festival in Constanța County in July 2024.
- A lower court initially issued a 3,600 lei ($830) criminal fine in April, but prosecutors appealed and secured a custodial sentence in December.
- Romanian authorities have not said if they will seek extradition, and legal commentators note the conviction could complicate visas and entry across EU/Schengen countries that share immigration databases.
