The 32-year-old driver was stopped and arrested by police officers and subsequently subjected to a breathalyzer test, with a final reading of 51 μg instead of 22 μg, which is the maximum limit permitted by law. Police investigations also revealed that the 32-year-old was driving the car without a driver’s license and without valid insurance coverage.
Following the completion of the police investigation this morning, the 32-year-old was brought before the Famagusta District Court, where the traffic offense case was entered for immediate trial. After the District Court reviewed the evidence presented before it, it found the 32-year-old guilty of the offenses of speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, driving without a driver’s license, and driving without proof of insurance.
The court sentenced the 32-year-old to two months in prison, suspended for three years, a two-month suspension of his driver’s license, and eight penalty points.
The Paralimni Police Station investigated the case and is continuing its investigation.
