Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 78471, member: 636"] Wiz Khalifa might do serious jail time in Romania. The Constanta Court of Appeal just approved a prosecutor's request for a nine month prison sentence, replacing an earlier small fine. This stems from him smoking a joint onstage at the Beach Please Festival in Costinesti last summer. Authorities arrested him after his performance. Initially, a lower court just fined him. Special prosecutors from the DIICOT office argued for stricter punishment, saying the country's tough drug laws apply to everyone. The appeals court agreed with them. His legal team is now fighting the sentence with another appeal. Romania has strict anti marijuana laws, way harsher than many US states. The case shows how a normal move for an American rapper can lead to major legal trouble abroad. [/QUOTE]
