The car, seized at the end of the process due to non-payment of the debt, was stopped for inspection by the Rifredi Department
Over the years he had accumulated a total of 175 reports, from the ban on parking in limited traffic zones or in pedestrian areas to transit in preferential lanes, from speeding to parking on the pavement or at intersections. But it was found by the Municipal Police who therefore confiscated the car seized for the unpaid debt.
This is a 60-year-old Florentine who in over 10 years he has accumulated a debt with the Municipality of almost 30,000 euros for 175 fines to which must be added the sums foreseen for non-payment and all the costs of the various injunction orders. In reality, over the years there were some partial payments of a few tens of euros and as the cars in the man’s possession changed, the debt grew as the number of unpaid infringements increased.
Until the collection process has completed all the required steps and, at the end of all attempts to collect the debt, last November the Tax Office seized the car by recording the provision on the vehicle’s ownership certificate after having notified it, without any response, to the person concerned.
But Two days ago a patrol from the Rifredi Department stopped a car in Viale Redi for a check and from checks on the various databases the foreclosure order emerged. The driver was then invited with the car to the Department offices: here he was charged with the fine for having circulated with a vehicle subjected to confiscation (1,984 euros). The car, a latest generation hybrid SUV worth over 50,000 euros, was brought to the depository to the municipal administration.
