Actor Toma Cuzin faces legal trouble after testing positive for drugs

Actor Toma Cuzin tested positive for cocaine and cannabis after a road accident in Teleorman county, according to medico-legal analyses received on Tuesday, October 13. The incident occurred on Monday, October 12, around 6:45 PM in Peretu commune. Cuzin, 49, was driving from Alexandria towards Roșiori de Vede when he failed to maintain a safe distance, colliding with another vehicle. Fortunately, the accident resulted only in material damages, with no reported injuries.

Police discovered that Cuzin's driving license had been suspended since May 22, 2025. A DrugTest device initially indicated the presence of prohibited substances, leading to the collection of biological samples for further analysis. The breathalyzer test conducted at the scene showed a zero alcohol level.

Following the incident, Cuzin was detained for driving with a suspended license, a criminal offense under Romanian law. The penalty for this offense ranges from six months to three years imprisonment or a fine, as per Article 335, paragraph 2 of the Penal Code. Driving under the influence of psychoactive substances is also a criminal offense, carrying a penalty of one to five years imprisonment and interdiction of certain rights, according to Article 336, paragraph 2 of the Penal Code.

The High Court has previously ruled that merely identifying substances in a driver's system is insufficient to constitute an offense; the impact on driving capacity must also be established. The Teleorman County Police Inspectorate confirmed that investigations are ongoing in a criminal case related to these offenses.
