In 1992 Chirinciuc began his business activity; he became vice-director of the firm Angrogoscom (1992), then executive director of the company Saturn SRL (1992–1997), and later vice-president of MOLDACOM SA (1997–1998), and director of ROVIGO SRL (1998–2013).[9]

In late April 2017 the anti-corruption prosecutors and the CNA officers detained Chirinciuc, suspecting him in corruption acts.[11][2][10] One month later, while signing the decrees for the liberal ministers resignations (who left the government coalition),[12] president Igor Dodon has also signed a decree for dismissal of Iurie Chirinciuc from the office of Minister of Transport and Roads Infrastructure, while Chirinciuc was placed under home arrest.[13]
