A specialist in the combat on organized crime, Alexandru Pinzari had graduated from the navy college in Odessa, Ukraine. Upon return to Moldova he completed the police academy course.

In 1997 Alexandru Pinzari was named as an inspector of the anti-crime police department at the Buiucani District Police Inspectorate in Chisinau, and later he advanced to various positions within the Department for Combating Organized Crime at the Ministry of Interior Affairs. For a while he led the Cobra unit and even the above-mentioned ministerial department. In parallel he served as a deputy chief of the Operative Services Department at the Ministry of Interior Affairs; the latter was run by Alexandru Jizdan, a future MP and secretary-general of the Moldovan Democratic Party.

For a short period Mr. Pinzari acted as the director of the Penitentiary Department. When Alexandru Jizdan took over as the minister of interior affairs, Alexandru Pinzari was appointed as the head of the Police Inspectorate-General.

In June 2019 the new interior minister, Andrei Nastase, dismissed Alexandru Pinzari from the post for insubordination to the new government, amid the refusal of the Moldovan Democratic Party to recognize it. Nonetheless, Mr. Pinzari appealed the new boss’ order and was reinstated in office in January 2020. He resigned immediately after winning the case.

In March 2020 Alexandru Pinzari was appointed as the minister of defense, being proposed as a candidate on behalf of the Moldovan Democratic Party.
