Paul Filip Hoencolern

Paul Filip Hoencolern, a Romanian prince born in 1947, claims to be the rightful heir to the Romanian throne of his grandfather, King Carol II. His life has been marked by controversy, particularly due to his involvement in legal issues surrounding real estate and allegations of corruption. In 2020, he was sentenced to over three years in prison for his role in a fraudulent scheme to acquire properties, which he contested and evaded extradition attempts. He was recently arrested in Paris under a European arrest warrant issued by Romania, where he faces further legal proceedings.
