UpdateDuring a major police check, the police in South Limburg intercepted a motorist on Wednesday who was indebted for a total amount of no less than 6,238,607 euros. Initially, according to the local police, it concerned outstanding fines, but the FPS Justice confirms that it concerns a confiscation.
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.
During one of the checks, a man was stopped who still owed a total amount of no less than 6,238,607 euros. According to the local police zone Limburg Region Capital (LRH), these were outstanding fines, but an inspection by the FPS Justice shows that it concerns a confiscation following a lawsuit in the context of a major tax fraud file. The driver must therefore still pay back the money he obtained through the fraud to the state. “An outstanding fine of 6.2 million euros is not an everyday occurrence. That is why it initially seemed to be a mistake,” says Francis Adyns of the Federal Public Service Justice.
In addition to the motorist in question, 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.
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.
