A roadside breath test revealed he had 41 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, when the legal limit is 35 microgrammes.
Malureanu told the court: “I am sorry I have done it. My work is based on my licence. It is what it is.”
The court heard Malureanu had a clean Romanian driving licence.
He was banned for 12 months and fined £400. He was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £85 and a £40 victim surcharge.
