In our previous articles, we have explained what a judicial fine is and in which cases a judicial fine is imposed. In this article, we will explain how a person who has been sentenced to a judicial fine will fulfill this penalty.
First of all, the importance of paying a judicial fine is that it could be a type of APC that could potentially be commuted to a prison sentence if not paid. For this reason, it will ensure that you protect your rights in the best way by receiving notifications without avoiding the notifications received and consulting a lawyer about the subject of the notification. Now let’s come to our topic;
If a judicial fine has been ordered against you, it must first be finalized in order for it to be executed. There are different ways a decision can be finalized (see our previous articles on this as well). After the decision about you is finalized, the court that made the decision will request the execution of the sentence by writing a letter to the Execution Prosecutor’s Office in the courthouse where the decision was made. The Execution Prosecutor’s Office, which received this letter, will issue a “Judicial Fine Payment Order” and notify you of the decision made about you. As of the date of this notification, you must pay the judicial fine.
After the “Judicial Fine Payment Order” has been served to you, you must apply to the relevant Execution Office and get a document addressed to the tax office, and then go to the tax office and pay the penalty by showing this document. But it’s not over yet. After that, you should go to the Execution Prosecutor’s Office and submit the other payment receipt or receipt that you paid the fine. Thus, if the execution is full, it will be closed as executed.
It would be best for you to benefit from the legal assistance of a lawyer so that your transactions can be carried out in a healthy and complete manner.
