- Actor has started his prison term
He's been resisting for a long time, but apparently to no avail: "4 Blocks" star Kida Khodr Ramadan (47) began serving his prison sentence this week. The Berlin actor surrendered and has been in open custody since Monday (5th August). The Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office confirmed a corresponding report by the dpa news agency to spot on news.
Driving without a license
According to the report, Ramadan had tried until the very end to avoid a prison sentence, but was unsuccessful. The 47-year-old was already convicted in 2022 for multiple instances of driving without a license, receiving a ten-month suspended sentence, and then again in February 2024 without suspension. He is said to have been caught driving without a license a total of 33 times.
As stated in the report, Ramadan received a summons to begin serving his sentence at the beginning of the year, against which he fought with various means. In July, the Public Prosecutor's Office then summoned him to begin serving his sentence within fourteen days.
Despite his efforts to appeal and delay the sentence, Ramadan was ultimately ordered to serve time by the Public Prosecutor's Office. Subsequently, The Office of the Prosecutor ensured that Ramadan began serving his prison sentence this week.
