Mayor of Chisinau has been tested for alcohol

Traffic police has tested Chisinau Mayor Dorin Chirtoaca for an alcohol

The incident occurred last night at 22.00, when the mayor Chirtoaca heading to the mayor's office was stopped by a police inspector.

About his meeting with representatives of the National Police Inspectorate the mayor wrote in his page in Facebook: «My car was blocked by another car and a short time later NPC crew arrived. Then, the unknown with surveillance camera in his hand began to accuse me that I was driving being in a state of alcoholic intoxication. "

Since NPC teams were not carrying Breathalyzer, the governor had to wait 10 minutes until another crew brought the apparatus. However, testing shown no alcohol in the blood, did not satisfy the guardians of order. Republican mayor was escorted to drug treatment center, where he again passed the test for alcohol.
