Christos Mastoras: “I did not try to avoid control – I had drunk 3 glasses of alcohol and came back from a celebration”

“I didn’t try to avoid control. I didn’t realize there was an alcohol test. In the next block that was a few meters away, I stopped and was checked. I had drunk three glasses of alcohol and came back from a celebration.” This is the version of the things that the 39-year-old gives for his epic arrest, Monday morning (02/02/2025) in the center of Athens. Christos Mastoras fell on a traffic block, avoided it and eventually the singer was arrested and taken to Autophorus to be tried on charges of dangerous driving and driving under the influence of alcohol. CORVERSE The well-known singer, accompanied by his lawyer, the well-known criminalist Mr. Charalambos Lykoudis, passed this morning the door of the Autophorus One-Member Defect court, in order to be tried for everything that happened at 01:50 of February 2, at the confluence of the streets, Stadium and Aeolus when police officers stopped the fierce Range Rover of the singer in which the 39-year-old was riding with his companion and a friend and after a “mini” chase, found that he was drunk.
