After this period, in case the owner of a vehicle does not take care to pay any extrajudicial fine against him, for violation or violations that have / have been recorded by the Photo Labelling System, a criminal file will be formed and will be subject to criminal prosecution, without further delay.
The whole procedure and the possibility of paying extrajudicial fines will not apply to cases for which cases have already been registered before the Court. Furthermore, the Police wishes to bring to the public's attention that the out-of-court arrangement, among other things, aims to avoid criminal prosecution and to save valuable time for the Police and the Courts.
