Christos Mastoras was arrested at dawn in the center of Athens after being subjected to a breathalyzer test.
According to information, everything happened at around 2.00:XNUMX in the morning at a traffic police checkpoint at the intersection of Stadiou and Aiolou streets when the singer did not stop at the police signal and attempted to leave. However, he did not manage to get far as he stopped a little further on at a second checkpoint in Omonia.
In his attempt to leave, he almost dragged a traffic policeman away.
His blood alcohol level was above the legal limit and he was arrested.
According to information, the alcohol level was above 0.8, while the limit is 0,25 milligrams per liter of exhaled air.
This is exactly what happened with the famous singer, who this morning is being brought before the courts of the former Evelpidon school in a summary proceeding.
What applies to the KOK with the breathalyzer test?
