Giancarlo Cristea a venit din Anglia cu o rețetă medicală pentru consum de cannabis. Procurorii i-au confiscat cele 25 g de „marfă”. După un an, i-au restituit tânărului stupefiantele. La mai puțin de o oră după, jandarmii l-au oprit și i-au confisca

Psychotherapist Giancarlo Cristea and his wife faced a unique situation with Romanian authorities after their 25 grams of cannabis, confiscated in 2024, were returned to them. Shortly after the court's decision, they were stopped again by law enforcement, who confiscated the cannabis once more. The couple had arrived in Romania from the UK with the cannabis for medical use, but Romanian law prohibits possession of such substances. Despite a court ruling allowing their possession with medical documentation, DIICOT initiated another action to confiscate the cannabis. Ultimately, the courts ruled in favor of the couple, stating their actions were not criminal. DIICOT later closed the case, citing lack of culpability.
