During an extensive police check in collaboration with customs, the Belgian police in South Limburg intercepted a motorist on Wednesday who had outstanding fines totaling no less than 6,238,607 euros. The man was unable to pay the amount, so the police seized his vehicle.
This is confirmed by the communications service of the local police zone Limburg Capital Region (LRH). The checks took place on the N80 in Hasselt towards Sint-Truiden and in Alken towards Hasselt. In addition to the LRH police, the Sint-Truiden-Gingelom-Nieuwerkerken police zone, the Kanton Borgloon police zone and the Limburg road police took part.
In addition to the man with the outstanding sample fine, officials from Customs and Excise and the Flemish tax authorities (Vlabel) collected an amount of more than 18,000 euros for driving red diesel, uninspected and unregistered vehicles and fines. Seven cars were towed.
Other offences
Thirteen people were driving under the influence of drugs. Their driver’s license was immediately revoked. Three people did not have a valid driver’s license. One was given a lifelong driving ban. Furthermore, three drivers were caught using mobile phones behind the wheel.
